I've been scouring the Interwebs and haven't been able to find much of
a solution.
Yesterday I decided to give P9 a try and burned the ISO file available
on Plan 9's installation page here:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/download/index.html
It was the direct link to the CD image so none of

anyone seen anything like this before?
Everything I check looks correct.

it has persistant tcp sessions so is much faster, and it also has some auth
