Filepro-list Digest, Vol 95, Issue 2

[Dennis Malen]

Consider using RDP from MOCHA. I've mention this before. All the keys are 
accessible.

Lastly, try the TinyTerm emulator to acess your UNIX box directly. Also all 
the keys are available.

I have been using both products for years from my ipod, then ipad then 
iphone.
