I connect to unix machines from Plan 9 by installing fgb/openssh
from contrib, binding /386/bin/openssh over /bin, and then using srvssh.

The command line looks something like this:

srvssh sl@phoenix phoenix && 9fs phoenix

This mounts u9fs running as user sl on host phoenix in /n/phoenix.

Alternately, taruti's scpu (ssh2 client written in go) can be used:

srv -s 5 'scpu -u sl -h phoenix -notty -c u9fs -u sl -na none' phoenix
/n/phoenix

scpu is available here:

-sl
