That's very useful, thankyou. And in Java too? Wonderfule, maybe I'll be
able to do some myself after all. Funny how most of the various "JVM"s, the
best/fastest ones are mostly made by parties OTHER than Sun... :) You say there
is already a Telnet app out there that DOES work over the wireless? I would love
to try that out. Then it's just a matter of adapting the ssh to work with that
app to encrypt the telnet session... hmmm. Any idea who would know where that
(telnet app)is? -Hawke
