SSH Clients for Palm OS 5? 28
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."

They woudl probobly point out that the Tungsten T has built in bluetooth, PalmOS 5.0, 16MB of memory, and a slick compact size that expands to full size when you need to use the graffiti area.
If it was the Tungsten C they were advertising they would mention the thumboard, 64MB of RAM(!) and built in 802.11b(!) which would be perfect for use from a SSH client. The Sony NX series only gets Wi-Fi from a t

It's a terminal emulator and not really an ssh client but maybe it will help.

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...

It will be a world of difference.
Depending on what your doing, it might also help to add a TGSSH termcap entry.

Have you used TGssh? It's not as if you have a command line or anything. You get an input box to type your stuff in. So arrow-up and tab-completion (just what you need on a handheld) don't even work. It's one very weird application.
