I didn't mean to step on your toes. I guess a solution would've been anyterm executing ssh directly. Anyway, I've installed ajaxterm and seems it's working fine. I need to test it more though. As for rote, I suggest you ask for its removal since nothing is depending on it (Of course it's up to you).
