I'm sorry, I thought I specified:
Palm VII (7). the palm.net feature.
Even if it's slow, that doesn't matter if I'm stuck in traffic and a simple
command could fix a downed website costing $10,000/minute of downtime, anything
is better than just sitting there (or driving down the median :) ).
Sometimes I can use my cell and laptop, but other times only the palm is handy.
I had worked out a succesful way to do this with email commands using qmail
and pgp for palm. But sshing would be far more useful. I'm not a palm
programmer (I only work with Java applications and servlets), so I'm hoping
someone has already made a generic util, rather than having to patch together
the api myself. I know the api has to be there because of the other utils (web
browser, email, etc) that DO work. (that's probably the api you're referring
to).
Any other help anyone?
