many of the router and 802.11 access point products with which I work
are designed around the assumption that the predominant, and, in most
cases, the only method of effecting remote (i.e. via the TCP/IP stack
as opposed to a serial port) management is via http or, preferably,
https to a www server. On the router side most of my experience is with
the products of Cisco/Linksys but I assume that the others, e.g. Dlink,
Netgear, Belkin, etc. use the same approach given the ubiquity,
familiarty, ease of use of a www browser based client end interface.<br>
<br>
Regarding the mail client I believe Nokia has to fix this, and do so
sooner as opposed to later. For business use, email is still the
"killer" data app (somewhat to my surprise that it is still so after
all these years) and for Nokia to have missed the opportunity to get
this right just amazes me. the N800 won't be a viable business tool
until they correct this, in my opinion, fatal software
flaw/shortcoming. Now maybe that is a market that Nokia is not
interested in for this product but I think that would be a mistake,
especially since fixing it is a SMOP (Small Matter of Programming).<br>

I would think that installing the ssh client would make router configuration much easier. Of course, then you will likely need a keyboard, as well, but mine is as small as my 770.
The ssh client would also cirumvent the problems associated with ActiveX, flash, Java, etc.

I have given up on the built-in mail client, using mutt on my home server 95% of the time. I only fire it up when I know I am going to be without connectivity for a while and have some mail to go through. Even then, I will likely scan with mutt first and get rid of a number of messages quickly.

I have not tried, indeed, I am a bit afraid, to try the Google Docs & spreadsheets for this function. It should be simple to forward a message with one of these docs to the appropriate import email address and then view via the browser; if it could handle it, and I worry that the 770 cannot. Maybe it or the 800 would handle it just fine. I need to check it out.
Also, I believe gnumeric is available for maemo. I have also seen abiword, but cannot figure out how to install it.
