EXAMPLE

       ``mit'' that is actually TCP tunneled via SSH to a machine at MIT:

              % sshnet -m /net.alt amsterdam.lcs.mit.edu
              % aux/stub -d /net/mit
              % bind /net.alt/tcp /net/mit
              % con -l mit!plan9.bell-labs.com!whoami
              connected to mit!plan9.bell-labs.com!whoami on /net/mit/0
