[ILUG] Question about ssh

[Chris Woods]

There is a port of putty for S60 (Symbian, aka EPOC32) available at the
moment. If you've an Nokia E61 or alike (Nokia E90) with a qwerty keyboard
it would be pretty usable. I have tried it on a S60 device with the numeric
keypad... let's just say that took me a while.
