I would think that even if you get pocketputty or the other ssh/telnet
client configured on your Pac Mate, it might still be too limiting to run
pine comfortably. Its hard enough to use pine on a linux machine with
speakup. But you'd be using pine in a Windows ssh client with jaws. On top
of that, its not regular jaws, its jaws for Windows Mobile. Even if you can
get an ssh client working on your Pac Mate, you might not be able to use
pine.
Are you already using a Windows ssh client? I use openssh for Windows when I
do ssh. It works well with jaws but it works great with nvda. Whne I really
need to do something important in ssh, I use a linux machine with speakup.
Nothing is better than that. But openssh for Windows and nvda is really good
too. So if you get a netbook, you could put nvda on it and openssh both of
which are free. You would have no additional costs besides the netbook
itself

Subject: Re: Notetakers
Uh, I telnet to Shellworld all of the time. Pine is definitely on the
shell. I've been playing with Unix shells since 1994, so I do understand
the core basics. My question was if there was any notetaker or software
that would allow me to either telnet/ssh to my shell account. The Pac Mate
runs Windows Mobile, which does not have either client installed. It
sounds like I may have a couple of options. I can either use a telnet/ssh
client for Windows Mobile such as VXHPC or Pocket Putty. There might also
be a way for me to set up Outlook to access my mail on Shellworld since I
believe it uses pop3. I'd rather access my mail on the command line, but I
might ultimately have to go that route. I've also considered purchasing a
netbook which would allow me to install a terminal program like Tera Term
Pro since I'd be using a real PC. I may be getting to the point where
using a notetaker may be more limiting than I would like. I really
appreciate those of you who have taken the time to answer my questions and
given me some food for thought. I ultimately asked the question on the
Linux list since most people on other blindness-related lists I'm
subscribed to had no answer. Since I want to access my UNIX shell and
ultimately build my own Linux box, I thought there would be knowledgeable
people on this list who might be able to give me some direction. Ok, so
that's my long explanation for my question. Thanks to everyone again for
being willing to help.
