I would like to be able to do that instantly by hotkey, as I can set up on Linux or FreeBSD - is there any way ? Since the keyboard generates UTF, you'll need to introduce some sort of translation routine, either by hacking the kernel or by introducing a user-level file server. At my work I often use telnet/ssh/ssh2 to log on different hosts from my desktop (now Linux or FreeBSD, sometimes with XFree86) and change config files with 'vi' there. Having tried plan9's 'telnet', I found that our hosts can support 'p9win' terminal only in dumb mode. It seems that reasonable 'termcap' entry for this terminal could not be expressed easily, so I think I need a terminal emulator like 'xterm' under plan9, or perhaps an ability to run x-client 'xterm' remotely and use local plan9 as x-server to have its window here. Have a look at using vt before running telnet, or even better, run u9fs or u9fs over ssh.

Sender: owner-9fans@cse.psu.edu Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Precedence: bulk Greetings, Please advise me on interoperability with existing unixes. At my work I often use telnet/ssh/ssh2 to log on different hosts from my desktop (now Linux or FreeBSD, sometimes with XFree86) and change config files with 'vi' there. Having tried plan9's 'telnet', I found that our hosts can support 'p9win' terminal only in dumb mode.

And besides, how do I set both-way mapping between koi8-r (cyrillic 8-bit character encoding we use under unix) and unicode used on plan9? And in relation, how do I switch keyboard layouts between 'latin' and 'cyrillic'? I would like to be able to do that instantly by hotkey, as I can set up on Linux or FreeBSD - is there any way ? Thanks those who know for any their suggestions :> -- mwg@alkar.net --upas-pughzsivjruewoxhlmvtqnpvfz--
