#Connecting to Plan 9 consists of either cpu(1)'ing to it, which is
#like ssh(1) of other OSes, but more advanced. The second way is to
#import files from Plan 9 using 9P.
#
#DRAWTERM
#
#[drawterm(8) | ../drawterm] is a program that non-Plan 9 systems
#users can use to establish graphical cpu(1) connections with Plan 9
#CPU servers. Just as a real Plan 9 terminal does, drawterm serves
#its local name space as well as some devices (the keyboard, mouse,
#and screen) to a remote CPU server, which mounts this name space on
#/mnt/term and starts a shell. Typically, either explicitly or via
#the profile, one uses the shell to start rio(1).
#
#Xfree86 drivers for some video cards assume that masks (stipples)
#have height equal to a multiple of 8. This causes drawterm to
#display blanks instead of glyphs with some fonts. Try the -b
#argument to drawterm if you see this problem.
#
#The sourcecode and precompiled binaries for various OS's can be
#downloaded from [http://swtch.com/drawterm/]

#V9FS
#
#See [v9fs] for further details.
#
#9PFUSE
#
#9pfuse provides a userspace fuse driver for mounting 9p filesystems.
#It is available in many unix-related operating systems. A typical
#command to mount a fs via 9pfuse:
#
#! 9pfuse 192.168.1.199:20000 /home/linda/9pimport
#
#For authentication and support for protocols like import [plan9port
#| http://swtch.com/plan9port] provides versions of factotum(4) and
#other utilities.
#
#HUBFS
#
#[hubfs] is a 9p fs which can be used in combination with 9pfuse or
#other ways of accessing 9p. It provides functionality like
#screen/tmux to allow persistent shells from both Plan 9 and another
#operating system to be shared back and forth.
#
#9VX
#
#See [9vx] for details. In 9vx you can use the standard utilities
#like cpu(1) or import(4)
