Could someone please test some software for me?

I'm a Linux sysadmin looking at cell phones for emergency modem access
to my servers and my company has a contract with AT&T.

I came across this FREE SSH program for the Nokia 6800/6810/6820:

Could anyone with a Nokia 6800/6810/6820 and AT&T mMode please
download this free software and test it for me? I can provide a
server to connect to if you need one. It's only free for a time but
it should give you enough time to test it.

Thanks!

Just for history's sake, it works. Slowly, even with alot of bars
(latency, not bandwidth is to blame).

A few tips: Hit the left button to get a menu for the pipe command and
stuff. Before using top, resize the screen to 80x25 and disable
autoscroll (I haven't tested this but top went nuts and I couldn't
type anything becoz it was sending so much data).

This afternoon I tested the USB cable with a Windows box and was able
to SSH very well, so that's a decent alternative. I've learned that
the USB cable has a PL2303 USB-to-Serial chip inside so I'm building
my Linux kernel with support for that and USB modems, which should let
Linux dial out using *99# as the phone number (no username/password).
And my Palm Pilot's IrDA connection works, too. I'll be a connected
fool :-)

Hope this helps someone. Write Idokorro's support -- or me -- if you
have any questions. Their support has always been responsive.
