Need a lightweight Terminal Emulator

While using the Remote System Explore of RDp, it would be really handy to be able to open up an emulator session to the i.
This doesn't need to be a full featured version of i Access. But a lightweight version would be really handy


Use Case:

While in RSE I need to look at System Status, Disk Status, check scheduled jobs.... General 'operational' activities.
I see that there is a 'Terminals' tab, but it goes nowhere.
