Does anyone know of a cell phone that can be used to access the modem of a switch.Do any of the palm or blackberry type sets come with a terminal software such as hyper terminal? I am trying to eliminate having to pull lap top out for quick fixes..
 
I pondered some similar thoughts. I was not able to find a solution where wireless worked for my needs, but I did implement this scenario:

Installed a PC that had a serial port connection to the PBX via ProcommPlus. Requested "Remote0 Desktop" be added top my Citrix rights, now I use Remote Desktop through Citrix to "RDP" to that PC, essentially giving me Procomm functionality to a TTY over a broadband connectiion. not exactly what you want. but it is an option to ponder.
