Or, is there a good reason why this hasn't been done yet that I'm not aware of? check out Recover: http://plan9.escet.urjc.es/iwp9/cready/recover.pdf /n/sources/contrib/paurea/recover4e.tgz back in 2003/2004, brucee added support for aan(8) to an experimental version of dt2k and wrote an fs (aanfs) for the plan9 side of the connection. it is handy for intermittent outages in a wifi network but obviously not for session migration, etc. if this is what you want i'll put them on sources. you'll have to port them to the lastest drawterm.
