[gentoo-user] [slightly OT] Pocket Putty or similar

[Simon]

Hey guys!  i just got my internet connection working through a new
cellphone (pda).  the connection works fine but is a battery eater (i
share the cell data connection to wifi, and then from the pc connect
to the phone's ad-hoc ap, very cool, but have the charger handy!)

Anyway, I've come sometimes to the point where i need to do some very
minimal work on my linux host running gentoo but from the cellphone.
I've downloaded pocket putty (i have lots of respect for putty, it's
probably the only windows app that I dont despise even unconsiously!).
 but it's not very good for my use, since I have to send a Large
numbers of Ctrls-keys combinations, and seems the meta key is not
supported...  working in emacs is either very painful or simply
impossible.  (How am i to survive now that i cant type:  M-x doctor
?!)

Anybody got a suggestion of a software to use on the pda to access my
host and have a nice terminal (ie maybe be able to bind keys
arbitrarily to some character?)

Thanks!

I've heard good things about ConnectBot.

I use that on my G-1 and it's pretty good.

To use connectbot on your g1 do you need to gain root access?

No, no more than I need root access to use SSH on any other computer.

Hi,

on my cell I run midpssh but I am not sure if there is a pda version or not.

I think we'll need to know which operating system(s) the phone runs in
order to suggest anything.

Makes sense!  Sorry that i forgot!

The phone is an HTC TyTN (also known as Hermes100, i think).
It is running windows mobile 6 pro  (i wish there were a good gentoo mobile! ;)
Processor: SC32442-400mhz
Screen is 320x240

I havent setup anything on linux to share anything with the phone.
Neither in windows but i'm probably going to install activesync on my
winxp pro pc.  (eventually going more and more using only linux stuff
when i get everything working).

Thanks

Ah, okay. I don't have WinMo so I'm not familiar with it. A quick
googling suggests these possible alternatives to pocketputty:

Mocha Telnet
Token2Shell
MidpSSH (if your phone can do java)

No idea what they do right and wrong. Good luck :)
