One other thing I do a lot is use the drawterm program. I dont even
know if its supported anymore, and its not a real plan9 terminal, but
you can connect to plan9 cpu server and play around a bit, its basically
like a terminal you ran 'cpu' in then ran rio. My network has finally
gotten setup (ie yesterday) to the point that im mostly comfortable
giving out free accounts just for fun. So if you want to go that route,
anyone is certainly welcome to an account.
