Again, my ultimate system target is in the sub-megabyte of RAM.  I 
really doubt you'll be able to fit an SSH server in there even if PTYs 
were supported, unless sshd (or dropbear) can be made really tiny. 
Otherwise you most probably have sufficient resources to run the regular 
TTY code.

That being said, maybe there could be a way to cheaply support PTYs. I 
just didn't investigate it.

This most likely won't be via a standard shell.
