[gentoo-user] OT web based terminal emulator

[Norbert Kamenicky]

Hi,

I need to solve this problem:

1.I have Gentoo based firewall :-)

2.On intranet (behind Gentoo) are some devices to which
  only telnet access is possible (SCO crappy server,
  routers ...) :-(

3.I need a solution, which allows me to connect to these
  intranet devices from Internet (all the world) using
  browser only.
  It must be possible to connect even from another firewall/proxy
  server protected network, so it can't use ports connection
  which will not pass through.

My idea is, that on firewall I will run a servlet (on Tomcat
or JBoss), client will be browser (Mozilla) with java/applet
support.
Browser connects to servlet and downloads/starts applet.
Servlet connects to a device.
Applet-servlet (encrypted) communication will run only on
regular http connection...

Any hints ?
