title: VT100 Emulation LIbrary in C# with SharpSSH
body: <p>I'm messing around with Tamir.SharpSsh and wanted to see if it was possible to use it to implement a console SSH client fully in C#.  I do not mean something like putty where it's actually running in it's own GUI, but something you could run directly from the windows cmd console.</p>
  
  <p>The library is pretty great, except that it doesn't handle terminal emulation in any way. So when using SshShell, you can do some basic interaction, but the output is often very ugly and full of random characters and you cannot actually interact with things like shell scripts, etc.</p>
  
  <p>As far as I can tell SharpSSH simply redirects the IO to the console IO.</p>
  
  <p>How hard would it be to redirect this elsewhere and handle the terminal emulation?  Also, is there an emulation library (C# and open source, preferably) already that I could use?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Gave up on SharpSSH, see answer below for the final solution I came up with.</p>
