Hi,

I am considering a full (3 machine) Plan9 system at home,
using an fs, a cpu/auth server and a terminal.

I also want to be able to be able to dual boot the terminal into NT
(for my other half) and to access the FS from work.

I am planning configure the cpu server as a gateway (with two
ether cards) and put a "trampoline" between /alt.net and /net for
http (NT used only for web browsing).

To access from work I would boot from a floppy (as described on the list)
and then mount the fs across the Internet.

Is this a sane idea?
Is this enough to give me the functionality
I want without being too vulnerable to being "hacked to death"?
