Terminal Monkey returns!
For all the geeks out there, word is out that the Terminal Client is available in the catalog finally. It will set you back $9.99, but for those that know what it is, it’s worth it. If you don’t know what a Terminal Client is, then trust us, you don’t need it. It’s not going to impress any ladies, chances are they’ll smell a geek as soon as they see it on your Sidekick 3.

The terminal monkey is basically a telnet client.
I’ve heard many versions of this, but I believe TELNET to stand for “Telecommunications Network”. It’s basically the grandfather of the Internet.
That was then, this is now. Now, the only real uses I’ve found (still in existance) for TELNET are libraries and information depots. If you do a Google search for TELNET sites, you should come up with some university and public library sites. Everybody and their mother used to have one, but then the Internet came around and that was pushed to the side for cheap web sites which were much more fun to create.

“Telnet” actually stands for “Teletypewriter Network”. Its primary goal is to allow a standard method of interfacing terminal devices and terminal-oriented processes to each other, to quote from RFC 764. It is a text-based manner of initiating and communicating on an interactive interface. Uses include remote administration, online gaming (MUDs, MOOs, MUSHs, MUCKs, etc), communication, email, BBSs and more. It is growing less popular with the recent surge of interest in privacy and security, boosting the usage of ssh (secure shell) over telnet. Telnet, however, is still used today — it is NOT a dead protocol (like gopher, for example).
The Terminal Client can do telnet, ssh, and RAW. Ssh and telnet behave similarly in this case, with ssh being a bit slower. RAW will initiate a raw connection to the server:port, allowing one to IRC or check pop email or imap or any other interactive services (if they know the commands, found in the RFCs).

actually its very powerful, from a terminal on your phone you can work on your home computer just as if you were sitting at the keyboard. instead of hauling a laptop i can use terminal monkey to ssh or telnet into my home desktop then use my computer that way.

Hello,
a user of ours has let us know that he was unable to get Terminal Monkey working with our SSH server for Windows, WinSSHD.
I am wondering if the developer of Terminal Monkey would be interested in working with us to resolve this compatibility issue.
WinSSHD can be downloaded from the Bitvise website, and we’d be happy to grant a free license for the purpose of testing. We’d also be happy to work with the developer of Terminal Monkey to see what the compatibility issue is.
Thanks!

I have to say, SSH was the best thing they ever came out with. You can’t beat its security nor its reliabilty.
