I work in the IT field, and have set up DJGPP so that I can run DOS ports of
all my favorite UNIX tools.  Recent Linux distributions offer frame buffer
console support, which improves console quality by adding support for SVGA
resolutions and color depths.  Can anyone explain whether/how I might set up
a DOS shell that has frame buffer support?

Thanks,

  Eric Adamson
