Hmmm. I have been using Plan 9 over a wireless with a lot of delay
today (for some strange reason I can't really understand). Hangups and
timeouts are really painful. Things like importing /net on all your system,
getting a big delay, a hangup, and getting all your applications blocked are the
sort of things he talks about. This can happen in Plan 9. Importing
/net is powerful, but when it bites, it bites hard!!!.
