+## 9pfs and drawterm
+
+When using drawterm it is possible to serve a 9P connection directly to the host system
+by binding `/mnt/term/net` over `/net` and starting exportfs(1) like shown in the script below
+
+ #!/bin/rc
+
+ rfork n
+ bind /mnt/term/net /net
+ aux/listen1 -t tcp!*!12345 /bin/exportfs -r / &
+ os mkdir -p /tmp/drawterm
+ os 9pfs localhost -p 12345 /tmp/drawterm
+
+It requires 9pfs to be installed.
+A side bonus of doing it this way is, that it uses the drawterm's aan connection to keep the 9p connection up.

The Linux kernel contains a 9p driver that can be made to mostly
