We had some rather tongue-in-cheek discussion of
iAppli telnet on the list a while back. I suspect that
the better investment of effort is to find out what kind of
things people need to do in the field, and provide
i-mode-specific management tools for those. It
would be kind of a kick to see telnet on my phone,
but it's kind of a kick to have Linux-on-your-wrist,
too. Hack value, little more.
