The problems with javassh are manifold. First, you are downloading an applet, which must then connect over port 22. In some cases (e.g., where you have a Java-enabled browser) this many not be a problem. However, if you are trying to gain access from a location which blocks everything except for ports 80 and 443, then you have a problem. In any case, most public machines are not so locked down that you can't download PuTTY and use that. That, IMHO, is a much better solution than using some Java applet. Mindterm suffers from the same problems as Javassh and is also non-free. If you want something that you can access from anyplace without regard for firewall blocks and client software, then anyterm (as I mentioned in a previous mail in this thread) or something similar is your best bet.
