[comp.terminals] Wyse-160, 99GT and VGA/Hercules emulations

I just got a Wyse-160 terminal, and i'm very happy about it.
I've been using Wyse-185 terminals until now, and they are good too,
but the 160 allows 132x44 lines/columns, has two serial ports and
is able to switch sessions (just like sco's multiconsoles). 

Now, in the manual i read under 'PC Graphics Personalities' that 
this terminal has a 'pixel mode': PC Gr/CGA pixel mode is
Alloy PC-CGA compatible and supports only PC Gr/CGA pixel mode.
The PC Gr/99GT pixel mode is Alloy PCST/G-compatible and supports
Hercules, CGA, EGA and VGA formats.

My question is: emulating the 99GT pixel mode, is it possible to
print GIF pictures? Or, what can i do with a "vga compatible" pixel
mode? 
Are there any programs for unix+99GT? 
I'm running under an AT&T 3b2-600 in case it matters.

Thanks for any informations, 

	Paolo
