The original question got me thinking about these sorts of things. I
first remembered MindTerm (a Java applet that speaks SSH) which works
fine as long as the firewall allows outgoing ssh and the host has Java.
Sadly it's increasingly likely locked down IE doesn't meet this, so I've
turned up AjaxTerm - which uses JS with XML over HTTP POST so should
work on any IE or Gecko based browser. I'm trying it out across HTTPS in
combination with one-time passwords (I don't trust Internet cafe
machines) and so far so good.
