| Application | Version tested (info to the right is as of this version) | Connection types | Copy & paste | G1000 keyboard support | Log / scrollback buffer | Other minuses | Other pluses | Price | Raw port problems |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MobileVT 3.0 (URL) | (untested -- didn't exist in 2002) | modem, raw TCP port(?), serial, SSH1, SSH2, telnet | ? | Untested. | ? | ? | ? | 21.95 euros | ? |
| Mocha Telnet for Windows Mobile 3.2 (URL) | Mocha CE Telnet 2.0 (latest CE Telnet is 2.1) | raw TCP port, SSH1, SSH2, telnet | yes, but only available as buttons on a tri-state button bar | Esc keys on thumbboard and SIPs don't work -- have to use Esc on "Keys" menu. No soft Alt / Meta key. No soft Ctrl key except on SIP keyboards. You can assign arbitrary key sequences to "Fx" menu keys / button bar keys F1-F20 and Shift F1-F12; "Keys" menu keys Enter, Esc, Arrow Up / Down / Left / Right, and Page Up / Down; and HOME, END, DEL, BACKSPACE, TAB, Shift TAB, Ctrl 0-9, and Shift Ctrl 0-9. However, those redefinables using modifier key combos don't work. | no | Hardcoded to use 80 columns -- have to scroll left and right to read whole screen or run non-curses programs inside an Emacs 'M-x shell' session. Vertical space hogged by button bar, (disableable) status bar, and fat horizontal scrollbar (all in addition to usual Pocket PC title and menu bars). | Demo fully functional -- just has a shareware reminder popup when connecting. | $25 | By default have to use Ctrl-j on SIP keyboard rather than "Enter" on "Keys" menu, thumbboard, or SIP keyboard, but redefining "ENTER" keycode changes behavior of all three. Can't connect to port 80. No local echo. |
| mToken 4.3.1 (URL) | (untested -- didn't know about it) | modem, raw TCP port(?), serial, SSH1, SSH2, telnet | ? | Untested. | scrollback buffer with configurable(?) number of lines | ? | ? | was $49.95 -- discontinued as of 2009 | ? |
| OpenSSH 2.9p2 for WinCE (URL) | 2.9p2 | SSH1, SSH2 | no | Enter and Up and Down arrow keys on thumbboard don't register until some other key is pressed. Tab sent twice for each press of the thumbboard key. Doesn't have its own menu bar with SIP popup menu, so need to run on top of another app that does; can't switch away and switch back and still be able to access SIP popup without a 3rd-party Alt-Tab type program selector. Doesn't contract terminal window to make room when SIP popped up. No soft Alt / Meta key. No soft Ctrl key except on SIP keyboards. | no | Based on a very old version of OpenSSH and not actively maintained. Installation a huge, technical, poorly-documented pain. Also have to install custom "wince" termcap (which has no 'am' automatic margins capability) on all remote hosts; some apps won't support it. | Has port forwarding and scp, but need to install a program that lets you specify commandline parameters to access these. | free | N/A |
| PocketAdmin (URL via archive.org -- Expand Beyond appears to have gone out of business) | (untested) | SSH1, SSH2, telnet | yes | Untested. Reportedly at least one XB employee tests PocketAdmin with the G1000, though. | scrollback buffer with configurable number of lines | Requires installation of XBanywhere Server. Aimed at the enterprise market (no prices, version numbers, or detailed features published on website, etc.). Never responded to my email asking about individual-level pricing when I first contacted them in 2002. Suddenly started spamming me with their email newsletter in mid-2004, though I did not request this and had had no contact with them other than the unanswered email I sent in '02 (and they bogusly sent these to the SMTP envelope From: of my email rather than the From: in the email header). | Free 15-day trial available on request. | For individuals: $250 per SSH-connectable server + $50 per non-server (e.g. router) + 20% (optional) for maintenance and support (per email from XB in response to seeing my guide, 2006-02) For enterprises: was $800 per SSH-connectable server every 3 years (per email from XB, 2002 -- price is cheaper now per email from XB, 2006-02, but they did not give me new figures in response to my query) |
N/A |
| PocketPuTTY 2007-02-28 dev (URL) | (untested; info to the right is as of version 0.1) | SSH1, SSH2, telnet | copy only | Untested. Doesn't contract terminal window to make room when SIP popped up. Non standard input methods like Calligrapher have issues. | scrollback buffer with 200 lines | Pre-alpha (0.1) for Windows Mobile 2003 / alpha (0.1) for Pocket PC 2002. | Port of the excellent Win32 SSH client PuTTY 0.53b. Optional SSH compression. Planned for future versions are raw ports, paste, configurable scrollback lines, and release of the source. | free | N/A |
| PockeTTY 3.04 (URL) | 1.08 | raw TCP port, serial, SSH1, SSH2, telnet | yes | Tab sent twice for each press of the thumbboard key. No soft Alt / Meta key. No soft Ctrl key except on SIP keyboards. Can't send Ctrl-_ ('undo' in Emacs). "Keys" menu with non-redefinable Escape, PF1-PF4, and Break. | log; scrollback buffer with up to 2147483647 lines | Much much slower than the other apps at SSH2 calculation / negotiation, even in low-security mode. | Demo fully functional for 5 minutes at a time. Has port forwarding. Only app not limited to hard-to-read TrueType scaled Courier New font -- comes with its own high-quality font in non-scaled 4-9 pt. Optional input buffer for slow links. XMODEM send / receive. | $19.95 (was $39.95) | (None -- works flawlessly!) |
| sshCE 1.00.49 (URL via archive.org -- product no longer appears on vendor's site) | 1.00.46 | SSH1 | yes | Tab sent twice for each press of the thumbboard key. Doesn't contract terminal window to make room when SIP popped up. No soft Alt / Meta key. No soft Ctrl key except on SIP keyboards. | scrollback buffer with up to 500 lines | All accented and other 8th-bit-set Latin-1 characters incorrectly displayed as "^e". Allows you to change font size while connected but then the screen becomes unusably garbled. Demo only works for 15 connections. Screen update extremely ineffecient, slow, and flickery. | No time limit on the 15 demo connects? | For unexplained reasons, vendor provides links to buy from setSystems for $79.95 (!), but for only $17.95 through Handango. Apparently discontinued as of 2009. | N/A |
