What do you people do in such circumstances?
I simply do ssh from my phone. I have a Nokia N900 which
has a hardware keyboard and even comes with an xterm
application. With Android, you should be able to get a terminal
and ssh client.
I will look into getting SSH to work from my phone. I have to
wonder how useful a terminal is with such a tiny keyboard, and
mine is bigger than many on my Razr M
You might also want to put an alias in .ssh/config so e.g. ssh
h will ssh to home.
Seems like a good idea.
I also have aliases to keep MH commands short - h for scan, n
for next, a plain number to show a message etc.
Fair enough.
You can also put putty on a memory stick for use from Windows
PCs.
I'm suppose traveling with a USB stick is one small price I pay
for avoiding Windows.
I would sooner install something like ajaxterm and a web server
than run IMAP or squirrelmail or something.
I've looked at ajaxterm when Linux Journal had an article on
that. It seems promising.
One problem I have more and more often with running nmh in a
terminal is that people and systems frequently send messages
encoded as html or in the Microsoft variant of quoted-printable.
Neither of these is very usable in my terminal windows. I think
that's likely because I haven't kept up on my MIME definitions
in my MHN config file. Maybe I should unhook all my stale stuff
and see what the latest version of nmh (which I'm running) can do
with these formats.
Thanks for the suggestions....
