I personally use putty because the putty console window is superb, and because it allows incredibly easy access to all of the many features of an ssh client. Plus, it supports both telnet and ssh, can handle a bazillion code pages / character sets (the most important being UTF-8), offers great logging support, per-connection profiles, complete control over hotkeys, easy handling of Backspace, one-click access to the alternate terminal screen buffer (for applications like vi), etc etc etc... If you have Windows, why NOT use putty? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
