	Greetings,

	Maurice Bach's 'UNIX Architecture' reads that there were several
	problems in unix networking/clustering/distributed processing that 
	were solved within unix bounds with more or less success, although
	not so naturally as under Plan9.

	But in Plan9 I see only 'cpu' command to attach new process to
	different cpu-server, and this seems to be done by user-level stuff
	and additional services, not by OS kernel itself.

	I think fork-to-remote-host is a great feature to be implemented
	under Plan9 just at its kernel architecture level. Or may be I am
	missing something ?

	Please explain me about true design intents of the Plan9, to give
	right direction to my thoughts.

	Thanks.
