a version of cec(8), the client, is available in the distribution. also, a better-for-debugging version is available as contrib quanstro/cec. see the -e flag. cec(3), the server, is available in 9atom. i've been using cec heavily recently as i've been working on a driver and have been too lazy to hook up serial. - erik
