importing /net is possible.

just recently replaced openwrt linux nat router with a plan9 machine
importing its /net.alt to avoid problems with random tcp connection
drops.

wrote a simple socks server so windows can use it as a gateway too.
even use bittorrent thru that thing with udp relay :)

works nicely overall. some programs have problems with /net.alt tho.
mainly ape programs wich require a "bind /net.alt /net". wrote hg
extension that hooks mercurials http "object obfuscated interface"
and uses plan9 webfs (/mnt/web) instead, also makes hg use factotum
indirectly thru webfs. only disadvantage is that one doesnt get
proper errstr thru all that python/ape wrappery :(
