OpenSSH on PalmOS possible?

[Daniel Brandt]

A thought has been bugging me for a month or so, but I don't know where to
look for the answer. Would it be possible to port the OpenSSH ssh client to
PalmOS and other handheld OS'es like Symbian (EPOC) or PocketPC?

Is the processor on PDA's fast enough? Would many libraries have to be
ported aswell? I know that PalmOS and EPOC has an IP stack implemented..

Since the development tools and documentation is freely available (at least
for PalmOS) a ported version would be able to be distributed without
restrictions, and would be very useful for those emergency situations when
you _have_ to get to the shell when you are out travelling or whatever.. I
know I've missed it a lot of times..

Ideas? Ongoing projects in this direction? I'd love to hear about it..

Thanks..
