I think I agree. Besides, drawterm isn't that bad even over high-latency VPN. I experimented a bit by running drawterm at work against a plan9 server at home, and it was quite usable, and much better than Emacs running over X using the same connection. Of course, Emacs IS notoriously bad at this...

how about vnc + drawterm -G; 2 connections? just a wild suggestion. -G (no graphics) is a feature of 9front's drawterm, but i think it should connect to labs. red cursor is a little 9front hack; it's transparent to red only. i'm sure it could be reverted fairly easily, but the cursor is too sma

VNC is great for what it is, and I certainly wouldn’t object to seeing vncs upgraded, but it is not a replacement for drawterm. It does not expose local devices in a plan 9 friendly way. In addition to just using drawterm as a straightforward terminal, an iOS version would be a very good platfor

With iOS getting first-class mouse pointer support, I’m looking at the iOS drawterm port again. Has anyone touched this since the old GSoC project bit rotted out? -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T69dec3540d033863-Mf82d1a
