terminal program, ssh even, for Axim (pocket PC)

Archived from groups: comp.sys.handhelds (More info?)

I'm getting a Dell Axim with Windows Pocket 2003 OS (or something like
that.)
I'm going to be using it on a wireless LAN.
Is there a terminal program that can do SSH, like Putty, that can be
run on the Pocket PC?
I know it may be a silly question, I'm sure it wouldn't be easy to use,
but it sure would be very handy!
Thanks,
Liam

Sorry?
I'm the system's administrator for an online printing wholeseller. I'm
on call 24/7, and don't have a laptop. I'm on the "floor" half the day,
away from my desk. I often have to run back to my desk to SSH into one
of the servers to do anything from change a password to add an IP
address to the firewall.
By having an SSH capable termonal on my pocketPC I can be off-site and
still able to check in and see what's going on when I get a page from
the system saying the resource usage has reached a certain amount, or
pings to a server are taking too long or are dropping, or a service has
crashed and I need to restart it.
Is that the kind of mischief you're thinking of?

I mean, what the heck other mischief is really possible with a flippin'
PocketPC. If I really wanted to cause mischief I'd load Slackware Linux
on an old laptop, add a wireless USB adapter, and use any of a number
of tools available to Linux to allow one to cause anonymous mischief.
If someone can do the same thing, anonymously, with a Windows pocketPC,
I'd be impressed.

Holymoly! Pocket Putty. That's just perfectly cool!
I never have to work at my desk again. Want to check a user's mail
spool sitting in the break room, can do. Need to reset a password
sitting at their desk, done. Need to add a device to the fstab in the
restroom, well, that's a little weird. But if I had to, can do! =)
Thanks!
