Hey guys,
Trying to get a good idea on what terminal emulator I should be using with GNS3. I like the look of Secure CRT but don't want to pay the $99 for it. Any other cheap / free ones you might suggest?

For CCNP/CCIE you'll be accessing labs with many devices, so you should prefer one that supports tabs. PuTTY Connection Manager and SecureCRT both fit the bill. I've used/evaluated both and have yet to find a compelling reason to prefer one over the other so take your pick.
If $100 matters to you, PuttyCM is probably the way to go. -

if for basic windows puttycm if you can get it to work (mine was working fine for about a year then for no reason just completely stuffed up and couldnt get it to work again- many others have had the same issues) otherwise puttytabs is just as good however gets abit annoying having to open every window up vs puttycm where u can just go "open all"
I use ubuntu with konsole and built a custom script to open all my tabs when i boot up my labs._____________________________________

Putty is pretty much the standard as far as freeware. SecureCRT is pretty much the standard if you dont mind spending the money. I primarily use SecureCRT but will use Putty also. It really all depends on what features you're looking for and what you get used to.This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. -

If you are a student you can get SecureCRT for I believe $20. That's what I did. -
