PuTTY works quite well for me - except it doesn't handle network errors very gracefully.

FYI - in the configuration you can choose X-style r Windows-style mouse selection and paste. With Windows-Style right-click pastes, middle-click extends the selection (IIRC). This mimicks the way a "DOS box" works. With X-style, right-click extends the selection and middle-click pastes (like xterm, etc.). (personally I like the X style) -D -- One OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Redmond, where the Shadows lie. www: http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/ jabber: dman@dman13.dyndns.org
