For example changing the packet size would be as simple as "2400 >> ctl" would change the packet size to 2400 (some syntax to that effect). Plan 9 does everything through "ctl" files that can be read and written to with `cat' and `echo', pretty much like Linux sysfs. The downside is that all commands have to be parsed and interpreted. I suppose a more "hurdish" solution would be to use a dedicated RPC interface (e.g., one with a `set_packet_size ()' RPC) rather than just use the `io' interface for everything. Thanks, Ludovic.
