I've been thinking over some random ideas about streaming a 320x200x8 display over ethernet to a 12MHz 286 PC.
I'm guessing the main complication is bandwidth, a 320x200 image plus a 768 byte palette would be 64768 bytes which even at 30fps would be (if I calculated properly) around 1.9MB.
There would be no specific framerate target though, something like this:
286) Request frame->Display->Request frame
Server) Listen->Capture->Resize->Palettize->Send frame->Listen
Maybe lower resolutions/color depths are possible/better?
This is just a random thought that keeps floating in/out of my brain
