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 have convinced yourself of what you need and can't see anything that
could compare. The problem with your straw man is that no such device
exists.
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. :)
Yes, I have a Motorola Q with EVDO that is a very effective device.
The device works great for phone calls, messaging, and simple
web-based tasks.
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. ;)
