this was a question I was about to ask. my thinkpad 600e should be
arriving in a day or two and I'm starting to think about useful ways
to get at my present machines from plan9. 

one is a laptop dualbooting netbsd and win98 with hosted inferno on both
sides (the linux emu works reasonably well in netbsd's linux emulation),
the other is a headless deskside box running only netbsd. alas, neither
have much hope of being well supported by p9 in the near future.

i also wonder, what are the options for seeing Windows filesystems
across a network in plan9?
