Nope, because the connection to that remote host was established when we were using the local host's /net. This is one of the other key features of Plan 9: per-process namespaces (inherited by children). Only programs inheriting the current process's namespace will use the imported network stack: you open a shell, you run "import remote /net" to bring in the remote network stack, then you run your network applications within that shell. Applications in any other shell will use the regular local network stack. After importing /net from the remote host, you could also run `rio` in that shell, which will start a new instance of the GUI nested within that window, in which all applications will use the imported stack.
