imap4d with a password (which uses cram) now works.
imap4d with a cram challenge does not.

telnet now works.

This is tangential to the topic, but has anyone written up a "how I use p9p" configuration style document?  I've not really tried to use factotum from p9p, because I was not even sure if it worked.  

Also the one time I tried to set up venti from p9p I basically failed horribly, and wasn't really sure what I did wrong.  (I should read the installation scripts for Plan 9 and the man pages but haven't had time to get back to it).

I'm wondering things like "can I use p9p venti as a snapshot back end to a VMWare Plan 9 Fossil?

I'd also like to host the blocks for my guruplug on my Mac OS X system directly with p9p venti if I could.
 
I feel I'm missing out on a few really great opportunities to use this stuff, and I doubt I'm the only one :-).  

That said, I use p9p Acme all the time, and it's wonderful!
