Hi, Deedra:
I have just send the speakup list a copy of my just concluded evaluation
of ssh clients for Windows. Now, I want to answer your note more directly:
Regretably, there seem to be no good Windows clients for remote console
access over SSH. But, there are several excellent DOS command line
clients. So, if the computer you will have access to can provide you
access to DOS in a way that works for you, get the Win32 download from:
http://www.ssh.com
and install the command line functions and paths. The access you get
should be excellent for simple command line tasks. Access to utilities
like Pine may be more problematic, as there are cursor tracking issues
involved. Maybe it will be OK. I did not test Pine.
PS: In the course of looking around I installed the cygwin utilities.
These are absolutely wonderful. They are also quite up to date. I now have
a bash 2.05 and a lynx 2.8.4 with ssl support that run as PC Console
applications under Windows. Very cool.
PSS: Makes me think that trplayer may be portable to Win environments.
