Check out http://javassh.org -- assuming you have a webserver and the
web browsers you use have a java vm installed. It's a java applet that
provides ssh or telnet terminal access via a browser (it can also detach
from the browser) -- which would allow you to use the mutt setup you
normally use without needing putty. The only caveat is that you need to
enable the SSH 1 protocol (rsa1) for it to work.
