Very good telnet app for a tablet device
dmc75287

It does everything I need, but is difficult and confusing to use on a tablet device. A keyboard is necessary to get full use out of it.

Telnet is NOT SSH, but still a necessary evil in some areas

Works exactly as expected - MochaSoft is delivering quality applications at an excellent price. To get this functionality on any other phone/handheld we used to be held hostage to the one or two developers who could write for those platforms - I paid $99 bucks for an SSH client for the Blackberry - best of breed, did exactly what it should do, but on the PLATFORM it sucked. Yes, there was a free version, but it did not hold a candle to the paid app. And I only paid $6.x for this app that beats anything I used before. YES, we need SSH and need it NOW, but until then I can use MochaVNC to VNC to my Linux desktop on a VPN, and use SSH from there to wherever I need to go. Did not even try out the FREE version, bought the paid version right off, suggest all add it to their application list and wait patiently, it is only a matter of time before either MochaSoft produces SSH or some other vendor - I prefer MochaSoft simply because they have an excellent track record so far. Now if they could produce a tethering app <BG>

Great but...

This app is what I was waiting for but I was expecting it to have SSH but appears it DOES NOT. That would be fine it all I did was VPN into a local network to do command line work but I actually have many UNIX servers with outside NICs so I would never expose TELNET to the outside world. I hope you can provide an SSH client in the next upgrade and then I'll be very happy and rant-n-rave all over you guys.

Verified: It does not do SSH

While this app does telnet beautifully, it does not do SSH. I tried it to port 22 and it will telnet to the SSH server port on the machine in question... but does not establish an SSH connection. I suspect the implementation of the key exchange may be a little more complicated. Hopefully MochaSoft will include this in a future update.

Best of the telnet apps...

Sure its not SSH, but when you combine this app with the iPhone's native VPN support - you've got a secure useful command line solution. I paid $2 for that other "Telnet" telnet app last week - and I think that for 3 times the price, this version from Mocha is 10 times better! The interface is smooth, it supports zooming, and best of all, and it allows you to re-map the function keys! (The $2 one doesn’t even support functions navigation or interrupt keys). This application is going to make my life (and my job) a heck of a lot easier. Don’t grade it too harshly because its not SSH… this app delivers on everything it promises. Five Stars! Thanks Mocha! This thing is worth every penny!

Don't blame Mocha

Obviously several of us would like to see SSH implimented, but I don't know that we will see it soon. Their WEB site claims it is a "government protecting us from ourselves" issue limiting the exportation of encryption software. If so, that is troubling. It is also weird, however, that they seem to sell a Windows Mobile SSH version with no problems! Hope it comes. As is, it is a very good Telnet implimentation, for what ever you find that worth. I bought it on the hope that SSH will get eventually added...

Works fantastic

This software works very well with a vt320 terminal program as well. I van monitor and create server reports and data from my iPhone. This is awesome!

Or am I just dumb..?

Is there no way to enter "nextlines" in a macro, or am I just dumb?

Perfect VT220 Emulation
tlongrie

I needed good VT220 emulation for my day job and this app works! Many terminal emulators don't get VT220 quite right. This one has it down. Now, if you guys could release a Mac OS X version to run on my desktop that would be just fantastic.
