There is here another plan9 network up and going.

FYI, the file server has a Micronics M54Hi PCI/ISA motherboard with a
pentium100, a 1.2 Gb ide drive (thanks to forsyth) and a 3c509; the
authentification server is a 386sx16. The terminals are sun3s (more
thanks to forsyth), sun4s and various brands of PC (most notably:
3c590 pci cards work fine).

It was nice to compile 8½ in 10 seconds. The constrat with the time
to compile X11 reminded me unix v6 vs. rsx11-m kernel compilations.

I feel pretty silly with a 386sx16 as cpu server, but I preferred use
the other pentium as terminal and compute on it.
