Oh, networking in plan9 is fun! It's mostly a matter of composing a string
to pass to dial() and after that it's all peachy and creamy. I have a
200-line irc client done in no time, which is now being slowly designed
into a filesystem so that it will *fit* plan9 better...

Sockets experience doesn't seem to matter much -- everything is nicely
'encapsulated' and the 'paradigms' are of a higher level.
