    Always used Tera Term Pro for console connections, looks a little dated now but always seems to do the trick.

    I wanted a program that can do it all, correct me if im wrong but TeraTerm does not do telnet.


    I might checkout SecureCRT

    The tabbed version of Secure CRT hands down. It's like $99 but worth every penny. Lots of options on scripting and macros also (althought I have only lightly dug ino this to automate the backups of their racks in class)

    I was using teraterm but it only supports 4 COM ports. I was digging around and found Putty will support all of the COM ports that you might need!


    PLUS.... You can adjust the font color. I like green on black or red on black because it is easier on the eyes compared to hyperterm. Wee!


    I even pre-loaded and labeled all of the connections and saved them per com port so i can choose which router or switch from the list of saved connections and load it right up. icon_cool.gif

    I use Putty to SSH into my debian box which I run headless from my win XP setup it's quite handy to use to tinker with samba configs etc, and then check if the changes have had a effect by checking XP

    Try the PuTTY Connection Manager as an addon to regular PuTTY. Adds tabs for multiple instances of your sessions.
