Re: [9fans] plan9port behind corporate firewall with no DNS or port access

Why not run inferno (or 9vx) on your home machine, export /net on port
80, mount it from work using inferno again, and you are out.

If your work firewall proxies port 80, then things get trickier, you
could mount sources on the home inferno instance, and then export it
using mjl's httpd as a read-only http 'tree'.
