ssh banner

[Soo-Hyun Choi]

Hi, Tim,

Right. Thanks for this. Maybe my question was not so clear. :-)
(I mean your explanation was very clear and useful too.)

What I wanted to do is to display an "animated" banner generated by
figlet such that the banner displays a letter with some delay. In this
way, a user could see a letter one by one up untill the last letter.
It could be better if I could put some colours on the letters.

Would this be still possible?

Thanks,
