Fujinet and ANSI Graphics

Greetings community.

I'm trying to log into BBSs that use ANSI graphics from Fujinet on my Apple IIc+.  I have successfully connected to BBSs via Netcat and VT100.  Want to know if there is modern software that can see ANSI characters from my IIc+ using Fujinet.

The //c really can't display

The //c really can't display ANSI graphics very well.  The IIgs is really the only Apple II model that has sufficient resolution to really do a good job of it.  A //e can really do it properly with add-on cards.

And it's not really the lack of high resolution...

And it's not really the lack of high resolution that is the issue, but rather the lack of colors at high resolution. The Apple IIc and Apple IIe are perfectly capable of displaying 80-column text, but at that resolution they only have two colors: black and white. ANSI has colors, so if you have blue text over red background you are screwed, unless of course you are willing to do monochrome and rely on dithering like AGATE does:

So I've seen AGATE, but I'm not sure how to use it with Fujinet.

There's no interface or driver for AGATE to use the Fujinet.
