I think that's just tunneling to a server side implementation though.
What I meant was that it'd be neat to have JS that actually implemented the client ssh and xterm/whatever emulation so you wouldn't need to go through the intermediate forwarding server to get somewhere.
I rewrote rxvt in javascript. http://github.com/paddymul/rxvt-js
ther terminal emulator is capable of displaying streaming connections, but I haven't built the server backend to enable it.

@bombs mentioned ajax ssh from Slicehost

That would break the domain based security model the Web uses
Flash can do sockets, but it requires crossdomain.xml
