At now Webmin have SSH Login module that use Java Applet for emulate terminal with ssh console. This require special browser plugin and works not so quick. At now there are many JavaScript implementations of ssh console, for example:
https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne
http://web-console.org/
http://www.serfish.com/console/
https://tools.bartlweb.net/webssh/
- they are much comfortable for use and have better integration with browser and system functions (clipboard, text selecting, change size, etc).

Please replace Java Applet for ssh terminal to one of JavaScript implementation.

    Webmin has had a "Text Login" module for a few versions now that uses only Javascript. The old SSH Login module is still included for users that want it, as it has better latency as it uses a real SSH session.

    Thanks, I find it now, this is good! It is not fully support unicode (for example, can't show midnight commander http://i.imgur.com/SY4iLus.png ), but for easy tasks works well!
