9grid.de is a German system. I'm not sure why it isn't loading for
you, but you can get an account there just for asking. My system is in
the U.S., and I could give you an account there, from which you could
send email but not receive it. I would suggest 9grid.de over my
system, however. At 131.112.14.44 you can find the tip9ug servers,
which also have free accounts, but be warned that the domain registry
(tip9ug.jp) has expired, so you'll have to do all connections by IP.

That's a MTU issue. I'm still waiting for the Internet to have one
unique MTU.
Sincerely,

I should also note that, if you can connect to your Plan 9 box via
drawterm, it should mount the root directory of the machine you're
using under /mnt/term. You can then do "cp /usr/joel/myfile
/mnt/term/home/joel" or whatever.

Using 131.112.14.44 (tip9ug.jp) as an example, how would I connect to
my mailbox there? I assume I should run upas/fs -f something, but
what's the something?

Right, so I'm guessing I need to mount my tip9ug mailbox before
re-running upas/fs? It looks like the command line will look
something like:
srv -m net!131.112.14.44[!something?] /srv/upasfs.chesky
followed by some call to upas/fs which I can't figure out.
I'm trying to follow directions from srv(4) but I'm more than a bit confused.

if you have a plan9 term, then you probably want to import your mailbox
and run upas/fs locally.
if you're drawterm'ed in - everything runs on the cpu.

Importing the mailbox is exactly what I'm trying to do. Thanks for
the phrasing.
Now, how do I do that?

I usually cheat, a lot and do
import mordor /mail
import mordor /net
upas/fs
Then I have basically no configuration to do, but it's not currently
working for me either.
Your auth should be correct and of course if you use sectore +
factotum to store your password, you can script it (without having to
enter it in over and over.

I'm trying
import -ac 131.112.14.44 /mail/box/chesky/
right now, having deleted my local copies of ...box/chesky[L.mbox mbox].
I can read a mail from boyd dated Dec 12 2004, but attempts to reply
-- or to send mail to my gmail address -- fail "with error 'Invalid
address'."
Do I need to import something to /net as well?
