SSH Clients for Palm OS 5?

Posted by Cliff on from the software-ported-to-the-latest-OS-rev dept.

oosid asks: "I have recently upgraded my Sony Clie T-616 to an NX-60 with the built in keyboard, larger screen, and a WI-FI card. I have been searching for a good terminal emulator/ssh client and have found nothing worthy. Am I totally missing something, or is there really nothing out there? It would be awesome to be able to take advantage of the excellent screen and keyboard in my favorite wireless coffee shop."

    I used to have a Nokia 9210 which had a Mocha telnet client that worked great for remote maintenance. I could do simple maintenance stuff whil on holiday.

    I now have a Clie TG50 which is a great little tool with keyboard, color, bluetooth and all. I am very disappointed by the SSH software available too.

    Mocha telnet for the Palm just crashes and Topgun SSH, well... The terminal emulator just sucks. Try to use vi on it!

    I would have expected the popularity of the Palm platform to lead to a lot of good Ssh apps, but this doesn't seem to be the case so far.

    Yeah, I know I should write one myself...
