Yes, that is certainly a nice solution for people who are free to 
configure their connections however they wish. I failed to mention the 
intended audience will only have access via the, so called, 'internet 
cafes'. Hmm, that said - I wonder if a web based ssh client exists? - a 
quick google shows a java ssh client from u.arizona.edu. If they are 
free to run signed java applets this might be a winner...

Thanks Tet :-)
