We use mindterm to have ssh access via a web-page to our server...
mindterm does not work too good but if you only need to check mail
or change some small files it's convenient...
I use this if I'm not allowed to use/install my own programs on a
machine eg. in internet cafes (on vacation), but if I'm allowed to
reboot the machine I use a system on a small CD (cheque card-size)
to connect to our server....

Regards, Eva
