Hello,

I use SecureCRT from www.vandyke.com, but it pricey. Check TUCOWS
listing at
http://www.tucows.com/networkadministration_terminalemulation_default.html
(URL may have wrapped). They have user ratings, complete descriptions,
and download links for at least 23 different console programs. Some are
even free! (Most are shareware.) A popular (free) one is puTTY. FreeBSD
even has a port of it.

HTH,

stheg
