Online is a VT100 terminal emulator for PalmOS organizers.
Users of Online can connect to other computer systems and access
real computer power and network resources wherever they are. Online has been used
to connect to Unix systems and then surf the web using Lynx, edit files with
vi and emacs - and even to read and write email using elm!
Online is also often used to configure hubs, routers, and other devices
that can be controlled via a serial, IR or CF port.
Online can be connected to either a modem or the serial or IR port of another
computer or device (such as a hub or router). If connecting to a modem
use the Pilot modem cable available from Palm or a hotsync cable combined
with a null modem adaptor.
Online currently connects to the Internet via dial-up shell accounts, not PPP.
A 'telnet' version of Online is currently under development and is expected to be released
in April 2000.
