It's not the bandwidth, it's the latency. I have been playing around with
this for a few weeks now. I have it working on T60 that has the kernel,
9fat and a cfs partition locally with the root on a vps 80ms away. There
are pros and cons vs drawterm to the same machine. Things that I have not
I have a Pi at work and a dual atom file/cpu/auth/etc server at home. it works
well, it takes a few seconds to authenticate but is quick once you are
connected.
I boot from the pi's flash so I don't really have a terminal but I keep almost
nothing in the Pi.

It would be interesting to hear how this works out in practice. The bandwidth
requirement is probably so low compared to typical traffic from a hotel,
compared even to smart phones.

what's etc server?
where is root, on the fs at home? or do you just cpu in or mount your
user's directory from the fs at home?
since i've never been in a cheap motel room with a keyboard and usable
3-button mouse i tend to just carry my thinkpad around with me that
has a usable inbuilt mouse and keyboard in addition to a display.
he he. Puerto Toledo ftw!
Is anyone here using Plan 9 as a terminal to connect to remote CPU / File
servers over the internet to get work done?
If I set up a small Plan 9 cluster at home, I'm thinking it'd be pretty
neat to be able to connect to the network at home over the internet.
While I have a laptop and could put
Yeah, and and I wonder how the little Raspberry Pi compares to hardware
that was being used for terminals back in the late 90s. It's certainly got
more memory and local storage available than many personal computers,
though I imagine the i/o bus is slower.
Digging around in my email I found this
