As you guys recommended, I found a large Plan 9 installation and logged 
in with drawterm from Linux (logged into the Texas grid 
http://www.9grid.us/).  However, upon trying to start rio, I get the 
error "cannot find mouse: device or object already in use".  Is this a 
common problem, and is there a fix for it?
Thanks

do:
bind  /mnt/term/dev/cons /dev/cons 
bind  /mnt/term/dev/consctl /dev/consctl 
bind -a /mnt/term/dev /dev

then start rio.
www.9grid.us doesn't seem to be configured like my home 'grid' :-)

Regards,
Adi

actually, just run /sys/lib/newuser and you'll
get a profile that does this for you.
