I do have ethernet, and that is something I want to do as well. Since I'm trying to squeeze as much learning out of this as possible, I wanted to start with the serial connection (though that part requires more rewiring of my brain than a 9fs mount). At the moment, I use a linux box with ser2net. I noticed that when I use rcpu to connect to my cpu server, I don't see the /dev/eiaU* either. (I still have to investigate Jacob's note about /shr). For now, I was hoping to mimic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFhQi0xbrOk where adventuresin9 uses
rimport -b DemoCPU '#A' /dev to bind the audio device of the cpu server, except using '#t'. Anyway, I'll keep beavering away.
