Erik has mentioned p9p and kernels with 9p compiled in. I personally
would suggest the quick fix, which is to ask for an account on a
public Plan 9 server such as 9grid.de. Although the connection may be
slow, you can immediately use acme to edit the wiki. I would offer you
an account on my U.S. machine, but it's currently down for
upgrades/maintenance.
