I use a Verizon AudioVox 6600 to Terminal service into my Work PC, I run
1280 x 1024 on my main screen, so it requires scrolling.

But, I have all my applications and everything I need. The 6600 has a slide
down keyboard.

The phone is probably 3 years old, not sure if you can still get them new or
not.

Several other guys around here have Motorola-Q's around here, but I prefer
the bigger screen the 6600 has. 

BTW Matt, what are you running for NMS?

Thanks,

Yup!

I refuse to tether myself to my job. I've done that over the last few years,
and I'm not doing it any longer. I do accept, though, that there are some
things that, out of the eight or so employees working under my boss, I'm the
only one who knows them. The ability to fix things remotely is essential to
our business and to my sanity. (Fun fact: I value the second of those much
more highly than the first.) As much as I'd love to be completely
incommunicado for a few days here and there, it's not practical; I believe
this has the potential to be a viable substitute.

You claim it doesn't exist; I'm still in a blissful state of doubt and
confusion. Hence my original question about what handhelds will work with
SSH the way I need 'em to. :)

Geez, where do you live? Sounds like the data service is even worse than
here, and that's pretty hard to come by. :P

My copy of Opera Mini on a two-year-old Sprint phone that I picked up used
on eBay for a hundred bucks works better than yours, at least from your
description.

> I'd rather shoot myself than try and use SSH from it.

Is this a statement of "I've used SSH and found it wanting," or "I haven't
done this but I don't think it'd work"?

To be clear, I'm open to suggestions. I'm just very very picky about my
requirements. ;)
