PuTTY is an _excellent_ free client for Win32. It does telnet and ssh, the terminal is quite nice (it feels like an xterm), and it is quite configurable. The license is MIT style. The source, as well as binaries for x86 and alpha, are downloadable from the website. I highly recommend its use. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ -- Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
