... but if i used ssh, i wouldn't get easy access to /mnt/term, with all of the benefits that that implies. likewise, i wouldn't be able to create new shell or rio windows spawned from within the same cpu session (i.e. sharing the same environment, including the name space). when i use inferno as a drawterm, i get a local shell window, but plumbed images pop up in new inferno windows, and plumbed files show up in my acme window. i.e. i get the best of both worlds (not quite as good as running native plan 9, of course, but better than drawterm IMHO)
