moin, moin, I've got a few to try out. Looks like the overall opinion is that PuTTY rocks. TerraTerm/SSH was also given recommendations and MindTerm is an available Java implementation. PuTTY - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ TerraTerm/SSH - http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html MindTerm - http://www.mindbright.se/mindterm/ PuTTY - 200k, fits on a floppy, is a single file, so can easily be run from any m$ box. TerrrTerm/SSH - good extension to excellent TerraTerm Open Source terminal emulator. Has install script. If I remember correctly the TerraTerm dudes also had an X server for m$. Don't remember if that was free. MindTerm - java, so works in many places ( including my Psion, guess I'll have to add the java engine now :). It's GPL'd. One thing I noted while looking for MindTerm is that PuTTY is under UNIX utils at Yahoo :). http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Communications_and_Networking/Software/Unix_Utilities/Ssh__Secure_Shell_/ Seems funny is listed as a win32 client :). ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # Knowledge is useless unless it's shared. - der.hans
