SSH for iPhone !!!!
As a packet jockey, who likes to play with cool toys, I was really in need of a SSH capability on my new pretty iPhone. Digging through Google Code, I found what I was looking for in the form of web-shell, and after playing with WebShell 0.2.0 for an hour or so, I got it to work.
(as an aside, Secure Shell (SSH) is used to login interactively to a remote system. WebShell, a small python application, is run on the system you want to SSH into.)
Following the instructions on the Google Code page for web-shell, modifying apache to accept HTTPS, and modifying the python file to accept requests from hosts other than localhost (so a real IP of the local Mac the script is running on) I was able to attach via EDGE network to a MacBook Pro (behind a firewall) and gain access to a SSH session. From there I was able to run lynx.
Next steps for me, irc in the ssh session......
