I regulary use my Palm m100 for configuring routers and sun boxen and run
a little utility called ?ptelnet? (I have terminal emulators on it; one is
GPL and the other allows you to send Ctrl+Break!!).

You could get it one of those weird `\/\/' shaped keyboards that are
full-size yet fold down to the same size;  although after having played
with a Psion at the Weekend; I would really recommend one of these for the
purpose.  You can /just/ `touch type' (!).
