As others have noted dt2k seems to work fine, I just checked it, not only it seems to work fine and feels much faster than the old drawterm, it fixes most of the really annoying bugs that plagued the old drawterm, it also simplifies things because we can forget about the old 9P.
If dt2k is not perfect yet, I don't care, it's much better than the old drawterm, of course hiding it in a vault I doubt anyone will test it. > > If someone could put a set of precompiled drawterm binaries in sources > > it would be great, the least sites we have to keep track of, the better. > Eventually this will happen.

I have put Linux and FreeBSD binaries in: /n/sources/contrib/uriel/drawterm/2005-10-05/ I will put the OpenBSD binaries tomorrow once I install X on my obsd box.
