AjaxTerm: A terminal in your web browser
Ever wanted to access a UNIX terminal from, say, an Internet cafe or airport kiosk? Check out AjaxTerm. It's a Python app that uses the magic of Ajax
to let you use a full-fledged terminal in any web browser. All it takes is a machine running Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X, or
Cygwin on Windows and an Apache web server. It even supports terminal colors. It's only as secure as a regular terminal
session, but the AjaxTerm web site has instructions for securing it with HTTPS.[Via Anarchaia]

This reminds me of the time I used Telnet in my high school library with a black background and green text to connect to my class's UNIX server. The librarian kicked me out because she thought I was, "Hacking the Matrix."

Whoa!
I've been looking for something like this. Personally I dont find myself often in need of something like this because I can ssh from my treo 650, and normally I have my thinkpad with me, but I have friends who .. say.. get deployed to iraq, and want to get on irc to snicker at us when their sattelite connection drops due to incoming mortar fire (the concussion jarrs the dish). Anyway, if implemented well this will really help me out. My alternative was 'anyterm', but that required that I compile an apache module. I really hope this runs serverside and just passes the 'graphics' or the UI to the user, and doesnt actually initiate an ssh connection from the remote host. that would defeat the point :)
