'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 ?
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.

Greetings,
Please advise me on interoperability with existing unixes.

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

is there any way ?
Thanks those who know for any their suggestions :>

Run vt(1) in the window before you telnet.
