Telnet in WM6?

[lumpyone]

Anyone know if its possible to open a Telnet session on WM6? Are there any programs out there which will allow a telnet session, or any websites out there that will emulate a telnet session through IE in WM6?

I use PockeTTY. Here's the description for their website, http://www.dejavusoftware.com/pocketty/

• SSH - Log into a remote machine through a secure connection without worrying about someone grabbing your password. Or keep your password really safe by authenticating with a certificate instead. Provides SSH1 and SSH2 support (with basic SCP for file transfers), a variety of encryption methods and MAC's, and the ability to forward ports.
• SSL - Connect directly to an SSL-encrypted service, or proxy it through PockeTTY to an application which is not SSL-aware. Great for checking the status of SSL-based web servers, using SSL-encrypted Telnet services, or continuing to use a legacy application that doesn't understand what SSL is.
• Telnet - Easily connect to most any remote host in a flash! This unencrypted connection method is not recommended for login sessions, but for checking on your webserver it may be just what you need. If you need secure Telnet you can easily tunnel through SSL (we love security!).
• Serial - Connect directly to your IR port, configure your network gear, anything that can be reached through a serial line. A real treat for you hardcore geeky types!

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the lead!

Or the freeware http://www.pocketputty.net/

Pocket PUTTY (yep, just like putty on your desktop)

Works pretty darn good. No serial, but telnet and ssh, with tunnels.

I've had problems with putty for SSH (I couldn't use the ctrl button). I'm now using a program from http://www.zatelnet.com/. It works great for me.

I was having problems getting PocketTTY working, even with several emails to them about it. However, thanks for the tip on PocketPUTTY! I use it on my desktop all the time and it was great to see they had a mobile version.

Works great on the Mogul too! Thanks for the input

"Can't Download
Unable to look up hostname for (xx.xxx.xxx.xxx), cannot permit download.

Due to U.S. government export regulations on software containing strong encryption, we are required by law to ensure that we are not exporting PockeTTY to certain restricted countries. We are unable to determine your country of origin. To obtain a copy of PockeTTY please contact us. "

What? Probably something to do with my firewall. My gut sez i won't be buying any software from these people....

I have been using PocketPutty, but could never figure out how to get the certificates to work. Going to give PockeTTY a try now, thanks for the link.
