 From the mac that actually looks really good, Henry.  Well, in 
monochrome anyway.  I had a bit of difficulty figuring out which things 
to press to actually get a connection made, but after that, things were 
pretty easy.

On Google browser's Window/Extensions page (might be different under 
Windows impl.), there is a link to the right of "Allow in incognito" 
labeled "Options".  On that page are some evidently real-time options (I 
immediately made the font size real big).  I checked the box "backspace 
sends backspace" to make the backspace key work as a backspace; when in 
this mode and Ctrl-backspace acts like a cancel for breaking out of 
things.  I tried changing also in here send and receive encodings to 
CP437 from utf-8, but I don't think I noticed any difference - all my fp 
function keys worked before and after this.  I haven't played around 
with creating profiles, but based on the heading here, you should be 
able to create profiles for the different kinds of systems that you may 
support.  When I connected to an older Unix box, I did have to reset 
TERM to xterm - that box didn't have entries for the default 
"xterm-256color" setting.

It does get you a quick ssh connection right from the browser where you 
can quickly adjust font-size.
