I've tried kssh and though it wasn't much different from konsole.
I'll have a look at gnometelnet and ssh-gui later. Thanks.
FWIW, I managed to get putty to use ssh-agent:
1 - Under connection, supply an auto-login username.
2 - under Connection SSH Auth, supply the public key file name.
Then you get this:
Using username "dan".
Unable to use key file "/home/dan/.ssh/id_dsa" (OpenSSH SSH2 private
key)
Authenticating with public key "/home/dan/.ssh/id_dsa" from agent
Presumably, the "unable to use key" line is because there is a
passphrase on the key.
