Re: [PLUG] handspring and linux dial-up

[Michael Lazin <michael@lazinweb.homelinux.net>]

I was thinking of setting up dial up to my network just for the fun of  
it, but decided to go with dial-up from DCANET because it is only 10  
bucks a month.  I did find an SSH client for palm.  It is called top  
gun ssh.  I tried it out today and was able to run lynx remotely with  
my visor.
