zaTelnet: Free Telnet/SSH Client for Pocket PC

[Janak Parekh]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.codebrowser.org/' target='_blank'>http://www.codebrowser.org/</a><br /><br /></div>Are you a UNIX geek or a system administrator that needs a preferably free ssh or telnet client? If so, check out zaTelnet. Interesting features include wide platform support (including multiple screen sizes and Smartphone) and a floating keyboard to enable you to enter those fun emacs control sequences. ;)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20061113-zaTelnet.png" /><br /><br />Best of all, a quick look through the forums suggests that the client is under active development. I haven't tried it--for me, the Treo's screen is a little <i>too</i> small for this application--but it's great to have remote administration alternatives.

Oh great right after I brought mToken. I'll have to give this a try and compare it to mToken.

Ha, you broke down and went for the full-scale pro app? ;)

How's things at school, btw, Eric?

So what is the benifit in using this over something like pocket putty?

I haven't played with it much, but first and foremost, it has saved sessions, which I believe Pocket PuTTY is still missing. That, and that virtual keyboard has an escape key! Not completely necessary since I discovered VIM accepts CRTL-C as an alternative to ESC.

Everything is going very well, busy as you can see. Yeah I had to break down and get the full-scale app which I love. It's really great and makes admin duties a breeze over vpn and ssh. There are still many functions that I haven't used yet but in time I will. I'm still going to try out this app as I only have one license for mToken yet I have many devices so this app may hold me over on the other devices while I use mToken on my main device.
