Five years ago (!) I suggested to emacs-devel that ssh.el be folded into
Emacs, but it wasn't done -- the suggestion instead was to merge the
code for ssh.el with telnet.el and rlogin.el -- I don't see that I'll
get time to do that soon.  

can you try M-x term instead as the terminal emulator, then do ssh and
other commands within the term buffer?  C-c C-j gets you into 'line
mode', rather than the default char mode.
