Works pretty darned well for what I need, when I need to get to a unix box and work directly. I agree Inferno is a "low investment" Plan 9-like option. It's also really interesting in that it has a great programming language. There are a few IRC clients for Plan 9, I found ircrc to be good, there was another that used a /srv/ based approach that would allow one to attach and detach from an acme driven win session with ease. But honestly, I don't use IRC anywhere near as much as I used to. Dave > -- > Java is a WORA language!
