It's not the bandwidth, it's the latency. I have been playing around with
this for a few weeks now. I have it working on T60 that has the kernel,
9fat and a cfs partition locally with the root on a vps 80ms away. There
are pros and cons vs drawterm to the same machine. Things that I have not
explored yet are 1) running a local build and binding $home from the vps
or using the vps as a cpu server.

It would be interesting to hear how this works out in practice. The bandwidth
requirement is probably so low compared to typical traffic from a hotel,
compared even to smart phones.

Is anyone here using Plan 9 as a terminal to connect to remote CPU / File
servers over the internet to get work done?
If I set up a small Plan 9 cluster at home, I'm thinking it'd be pretty neat to
be able to connect to the network at home over the internet.
While I have a laptop and could put 9front on it, I also really like the
thought of carrying around a little Raspberry Pi and portable keyboard/mouse as
an alternative. Sitting here in a cheap motel room, I realized that all the
hotel rooms I've been in over the past few years have a decent flat screen
television that takes an HDMI input and has had decent, if not amazing, WiFi to
the internet.
