1/7     I know soda runs a browser based ssh login scheme but I've never
        had to use it so I know nothing about it.  Now for various unimportant
        reasons I need the same thing running on my home machine.  What is
        the name of the software that soda uses for this and where can I get
        it?  Thanks!
        \_ Easier is just download putty ssh when you need it.
        \_ Google for "mindterm", or just grab it from soda. There's different
            versions.  It is  a 'ssh1' client implemented in java. -ERic
            URL is http://www.mindbright.se/mindterm
        \_ and an excellent FAQ for getting to systems from behind networks
           with firewalls administered by idiot/bofh network admins:

        \_ OP here to clarify: a friend who recently who ssh out from a corp
           network no longer can.  they only have some sort of http proxy to
           the public net now.  I'm looking for a way for them to abuse the
           corp http proxy to ssh to remote hosts outside the corp net.  I
           thought the soda solution was running some sort of proxy abusing
           ssh client which is why I asked about that.
           \_ I could never get mindterm to work right with http proxies.
              Mindterm2 has no problems, though.  Run it as a local jarfile
              if you have funky security settings.  -John

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away
