As long as you can get IL packets
through, you're golden.
I had TCP working once - it
wouldn't be that hard to
do again.  Just add aux/fcall into
/sys/src/9/boot/configip.c.

On a related note, I set up a standalone
cpu/auth/file server last night for
personal use and took notes.
A polished version can now be found
at the end of
plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/start.html,.ps,.pdf.
