The 9p.sdf.org rio rc prompt is accessable with 9front Drawterm or an rcpu connection. A 9p.sdf.org user name (-u USER) is required. 

  $ ./drawterm -a 9p.sdf.org -h 9p.sdf.org -u USER
Optional: drawterm -h 9p.sdf.org -u USER
Optional: drawterm -a 9p.sdf.org -h 9p.sdf.org -p -u USERpersistent network

A Drawterm rc prompt (without rio; teletype only): 

  $ ./drawterm -G -h 9p.sdf.org -u USER
xA Drawterm file transfer hint:% lc /mnt/term
xPlease use the chmod(1) command to restrict file permissions in your home directory (/usr/USERNAME).

Conclusion or close

The wiki formatting used in this tutorial was reviewed with the SDF Plan 9 Boot Camp plan9front mothra browser, and the mothra option '-k': % mothra -k. The intention was to support those SDF Plan 9 Boot Camp participants who may participate (in the Boot Camp) with a low-speed Internet connection. The outcome of the mentioned formatting decision is pending the approval of future wiki editors. Have fun.

This wiki page was reviewed with the Plan 9 abaco, and mothra, browsers.

plan9front running natively on hardware.
2)
NetBSD Xen [] running Plan 9 Boot Camp participants' VMs, during the announced Plan 9 Boot Camp occurrences.
3)
The [:!:] is interchangeable with a [CAUTION], for the abaco, and mothra browsers. :!:
4)
SDF members may avoid this [Plan 9] server‚ if seeking parity with the mentioned references: reference or reference. [:!:] external links

Security in Plan 9; The user may or may not have a secure store in which all his keys are kept.
6)
A validated SDF user can create their own Gemini space‚ in addition an occasional Gemini example.
