Terminal Emulators Reviewed

Posted by Hemos on from the learning-the-lines dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linux Weekly News has a now free review of terminal emulators. It might be old but still remains an important tool to many of the regulars here." If you're checking that out, it's also worth checking out Joe Barr's CLI series on Linux.com (also owned by OSDN)

    Huh? I think you mean DOS emulator. Terminal emulators are for things like DEC VT220 emulation.

  2. Where's PuTTY? by KlomDark · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have been picky as hell over the years when it comes to terminal emulators. As far as windows-based emulators, PuTTY is by far the best in my my opinion. Supports telnet, SSH, Rlogin and all kinds of other things linux Linux arrow key support.

    For when you have to connect to Linux from a Windows box, it's the way to go. (Although the default font [Courier New] option is horrible for a console emulator, I always change it to Terminal.)

  3. SecureCRT from vandyke.com is my fav. by qualico · · Score: 5, Informative

    I prefer SecureCRT for my emulation.

    Excellent product with scripting, keymapping, tons of choice emulation and transfer protocols.

    Otherwise, a Wyse60 was my weapon of choice in the good ol days.
