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 ?

Have you considered using webmin for that?

No, I didn't know it, but tried it few minutes before ... it looks to be a good tip :-) thanks, but it doesn't work yet ...

I installed/started it, connected to port 10000 and run "module
SSH/Telnet Login".
(Later I plan to install "usermin" for apache compatibility.)

In "Module config" I set up ssh connection to 127.0.0.1, and tested it.

Login pop up window showed, but after putting proper name/password,
only "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.9p1" appears on the screen (three times) and it
freezes.

If I put wrong password, the output is the same, but terminal window
closes and pop up window reappears.

"ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" fom command line works properly.
I'll check tomorrow what's going wrong.

No, it doesn't fit to my demands, because if "terminal module" is used, it makes new connection from applet to port 22/23 on server. I really doesn't understand who needs such "feature", I happily use ssh for it.
