Running an ssh in Chrome OS?

I don't know specifically about Chrome OS, but I can certainly report
that we have long wanted accessible ssh on Android. There's plenty by
way of terminal and ssh apps on Android, but none that work with
Talkback.

There's also a behavioral issue on Android to where a scrolling tty type
line by line display is incorrectly voiced (and brailled). Focus stays
with the content the user last focussed, even as that line of text moves
up screen.

If there's a solution for the former situation, I'm thinking the best
opportunity may be to compile Fenrir for Android and/or Chrome. I've
taken some half hearted attempts at doing that, but it's not a high
priority for me.

What to do about the second, behavioral issue, I'm don't know.
