Right now it's just a TPDD device. However, mComm for Windows does provide
Telnet and SSH access. I may add this to the Android.
Another thought was to create a separate app that acts like a modem with a
command like ATDT X.X.X.X,pp that would create a Telnet connection and a
command like ATDS X.X.X.X,pp would be for SSH connections. Very similar to the
Lantronix devices.
Since DSR support isn't the same on the Android as the PC, I've had to leave
out the TELCOM mode for now but maybe I can make that work as well. There is a
lot of potential but I've only got so much time in the day. Have to pay the
College bills for three girls.

That's quite the acomplishment. I'm excited to see this happening. I haven't
used my m100 in a little over a year, because I finally found a regular laptop
with all day battery life (and I needed to do some more graphical work), but if
we can get the thing reliably communicating with android, that'd be astounding.
So, this is just for file storage, right? Or do we also get terminal access?

Can't guarantee I'll find time to have a good look at it (can't even find my
Android phone at the moment ;-) but I'm definitely interested if you want to
send me a beta JIC.
