Any plans for SSH-2

Not in the current release. There is an issue with exporting 128 encryption from the USA, where the App Store server is located. As soon as this issue is solved, we will  add a SSH-2 option for  terminal traffic. We cannot offer a release date.

We are not planning a general SSH-2 tunnel product, as a tunnel could be used as a proxy server, which is something Apple and AT&T do not allow.

Quickly tap the Shift key twice. Instead of the usual glowing arrow to indicate the next letter will be upper case, the whole Shift key turns blue to show Caps Lock Mode.
Tapping the Shift key again turns Caps Lock back off.

Cannot make a connection to the Telnet Server

Either
- wrong IP address for the Telnet Server
- The Telnet server is not running
- A firewall stopping access on port 23.
- The iPhone/iPod is not on the same network as the Telnet Server

How to connect to a Telnet Server from the Internet (EDGE)

To allow a connection with the iPhone on the EDGE network or another wifi network, maybe at your local Cafe, you must configure the router/firewall protecting your office network to allow traffic on port 23. This could be a security risk! Read the router manual for advice.

An example:

I have a router at my office, which connect to the Internet. It has IP address 88.1.2.44 on the Internet. The router has a fixed IP address on the Internet, if your internet provider (ISP) gives a  dynamic address, a solution could be to use a service as NO-IP

Our Office Linux PC has a fixed IP address on the local network (wifi) at 192.168.2.2

In the router firewall configuration I have configured, if it receives data on port 23, forward it to 192.168.2.2.

When on the EDGE network with the iPhone, I will in Telnet as Server IP address write

• 88.1.2.44 , and as port 23 (Not the IP address for the Linux box!)
