Mocha Telnet App Reviews

31 add

Works great with my iPad 2

Good choice, works as expected and as required. No worries.

Thats what I was waiting for !

This is exactly what I needed to connect to my ERP(Mfg/Pro) on a HP/UX. - The slick "Fxx" and "Num" keyboards are why I choosed the paid app. Need it for my ERP. - The possibility to modify keys value. (I replaced F1 for Pf1 action key of the old vt220 terminal) - Portrait and landscape format. - Hability to zoom. - Would be even better if there would be an auto fit to screen function. Exellent works guys !

Not for network equipment

This app may be great as a terminal emulator, but if you are a network administrator who works with command line for Cisco and other equipment, be aware that for lack of a host application like Terminal, the output does not display in sections or pages. You will only be able to see the last few lines of the output.

Doesnt work properly

Its junk. Wont connect to Qnap server and the screen wont fit in landscape. Save your money and try something else

ssh supportがないのが残念。

ssh-1/ssh-2 support please! Mocha W32 Telnetと同じスペックでsshまでサポートだったら完璧だったのに。

Telnet is NOT SSH, but still a necessary evil in some areas

Works exactly as expected - MochaSoft is delivering quality applications at an excellent price. To get this functionality on any other phone/handheld we used to be held hostage to the one or two developers who could write for those platforms - I paid $99 bucks for an SSH client for the Blackberry - best of breed, did exactly what it should do, but on the PLATFORM it sucked. Yes, there was a free version, but it did not hold a candle to the paid app. And I only paid $6.x for this app that beats anything I used before. YES, we need SSH and need it NOW, but until then I can use MochaVNC to VNC to my Linux desktop on a VPN, and use SSH from there to wherever I need to go. Did not even try out the FREE version, bought the paid version right off, suggest all add it to their application list and wait patiently, it is only a matter of time before either MochaSoft produces SSH or some other vendor - I prefer MochaSoft simply because they have an excellent track record so far. Now if they could produce a tethering app <BG>

Great but...

This app is what I was waiting for but I was expecting it to have SSH but appears it DOES NOT. That would be fine it all I did was VPN into a local network to do command line work but I actually have many UNIX servers with outside NICs so I would never expose TELNET to the outside world. I hope you can provide an SSH client in the next upgrade and then Ill be very happy and rant-n-rave all over you guys.

Verified: It does not do SSH

While this app does telnet beautifully, it does not do SSH. I tried it to port 22 and it will telnet to the SSH server port on the machine in question... but does not establish an SSH connection. I suspect the implementation of the key exchange may be a little more complicated. Hopefully MochaSoft will include this in a future update.

Best of the telnet apps...

Sure its not SSH, but when you combine this app with the iPhones native VPN support - youve got a secure useful command line solution. I paid $2 for that other "Telnet" telnet app last week - and I think that for 3 times the price, this version from Mocha is 10 times better! The interface is smooth, it supports zooming, and best of all, and it allows you to re-map the function keys! (The $2 one doesn’t even support functions navigation or interrupt keys). This application is going to make my life (and my job) a heck of a lot easier. Don’t grade it too harshly because its not SSH… this app delivers on everything it promises. Five Stars! Thanks Mocha! This thing is worth every penny!

Dont blame Mocha

Obviously several of us would like to see SSH implimented, but I dont know that we will see it soon. Their WEB site claims it is a "government protecting us from ourselves" issue limiting the exportation of encryption software. If so, that is troubling. It is also weird, however, that they seem to sell a Windows Mobile SSH version with no problems! Hope it comes. As is, it is a very good Telnet implimentation, for what ever you find that worth. I bought it on the hope that SSH will get eventually added...

Works fantastic

This software works very well with a vt320 terminal program as well. I van monitor and create server reports and data from my iPhone. This is awesome!

Or am I just dumb..?

Is there no way to enter "nextlines" in a macro, or am I just dumb?

Perfect VT220 Emulation

I needed good VT220 emulation for my day job and this app works! Many terminal emulators dont get VT220 quite right. This one has it down. Now, if you guys could release a Mac OS X version to run on my desktop that would be just fantastic.

Performs as promised

Works well using the iPhones VPN client. However, it would be nice if it had a scroll-back buffer.

nice little App...

I got this app because I am an advid Trade Wars 2002 Player and I want to be able to log in and check my universe from time to time from my iPad. I dont usually have my notebook with me so when I just have the iPad I can at least log in and check. It would be a nice addition to this program if you would build in an ANSI terminal emulator that does ANSI/ASCII graphics. I tried lite first just to make sure I could connect to the telnet BBS and it did. I then dumped the lite version and just bought the full version. $5.99 is a very reasonable price. I may try this on my iPod touch but probably not as the iPad is much better for keyboard intensive apps. (Yes, I am dating myself... i am a throwback to the 80s BBS era <g>)

Works, but hard to use

If you -need- telnet on your iPhone and iPad then this works... the biggest complaint for me is how obtuse it is to use. Also it doesnt support ANSI if youre looking for that.

Great app

Used to take a laptop out into the field to program equipment. This program coupled with Roving Networks Wi-Fly allows me to program in terminal without needing a laptop.

Fantastic app..

This is an amazing app. I actually bought the full version because this dev deserves to be paid for creating such a quality piece of software.

PhilD

The lite was/is so useful in my work I feel I owe them so Im buying the full version.

Unbelievable

This app allows me to be totally mobile at work gone are the days were I have to be at the desk to monitor our associates and now I can be a lot more efficient out on the floor without having to run back to a computer I have our entire operating program directly on my iPad which saves time in a fast pace environment,THANKS Telnet!
