Hmm. How fast do you want it to go?  I just did a quick test and got
about 20 lines/sec.  Too fast to read certainly, but I can just barely
tell whats scrolling by at that speed.  Faster scrolling would be
detrimental.  Now this doesn't mean paging.  I used the GNU cat *.c
command to check it out in my other window.

I'm using the standard VGA drivers on GA+SP.  I did try the 800x600
mode for my ET4000 based card and found it too slow, but I'll use VGA
until I get a new 17" monitor.  (Actually, I'm waiting for the XGA-2
cards for ISA to come down a bit in price too.)
