Jim Ajaxterm is cool. I am think about this Shell in a box, it's like
Ajaxterm, very simple to set up then I can create account and jail.
Only reason I was asking about telnet because this came to mind as my
example for trying to get some that all can use..Anyway, I think if I
can do web base even easiers. Thanks.

Have you tried SUSE Studio? Need to create a Live CD,  an app you want
to package and distribute , or create your own linux distro. Give SUSE
Studio a try. www.susestudio.com.
