Outside that, good terminal emulation with ssh would be one bridge I'm
not sure that is available. I didn't find an irc client that wasn't a
complete mess to use either. But I haven't looked too deeply. So far,
Inferno has seemed more interesting as there's a much lower threshold in
running that. It is a fair deal of work to dig yourself into that, too.
I use "vt" and "ssh" all the time. Works pretty darned well for what
I need, when I need to get to a unix box and work directly.
I agree Inferno is a "low investment" Plan 9-like option. It's also
really interesting in that it has a great programming language.
There are a few IRC clients for Plan 9, I found ircrc to be good,
there was another that used a /srv/ based approach that would allow
one to attach and detach from an acme driven win session with ease.
But honestly, I don't use IRC anywhere near as much as I used to.
