[gentoo-user] [slightly OT] Pocket Putty or similar

[Simon]

Hey guys!  i just got my internet connection working through a new
cellphone (pda).  the connection works fine but is a battery eater (i
share the cell data connection to wifi, and then from the pc connect
to the phone's ad-hoc ap, very cool, but have the charger handy!)

Anyway, I've come sometimes to the point where i need to do some very
minimal work on my linux host running gentoo but from the cellphone.
I've downloaded pocket putty (i have lots of respect for putty, it's
probably the only windows app that I dont despise even unconsiously!).
 but it's not very good for my use, since I have to send a Large
numbers of Ctrls-keys combinations, and seems the meta key is not
supported...  working in emacs is either very painful or simply
impossible.  (How am i to survive now that i cant type:  M-x doctor
?!)

Anybody got a suggestion of a software to use on the pda to access my
host and have a nice terminal (ie maybe be able to bind keys
arbitrarily to some character?)

Thanks!
