If we are talking telnet programs. Then take a look at Tera Term Pro.
It's listed at www.windows95.com so it's easy to find. It's also free,
so no shareware nags or guilt trips if you have any morals.
It also supports modem connections as well as telnet connections. Plus
it's vt100 emulation is flawless (I've tried many telnet programs and
this is the first that doesn't have any screen glitches that I've
tried) and it supports ANSI colour as well. And that's not all,
because it supports modems it supports zmodem and you can zmodem files
back through a telnet connection. So it you are telnetted into
someplace and think "gee I would like that file", then just zmodem
it back without having to FTP into the site. It's also got a neat
macro language so you can create shutcuts on the desktop to auto
connect and login to any site.
I give it a double thumbs up! :-)
Cheers.
