hey, i've seen a few posts of what people recomended to use for telnet, i'm wanting to actually get a specific telnet client now, instead of using the windows built in one.

 

i had a quick search but couldn't find the posts were I've seen said recommendations, can someone tell me what i should use thats best. don't need anything fancy, just something simple and light weight and will work under vista

 

in a word... PUTTY

 

putty.-

 

 

I use a commercial product called Secure CRT.

In the past I've used Tera Term, however it has not been updated in a long time.

Many people use Putty.

thanks guys

I like using Private Shell - http://www.privateshell.com/

 

Features rich, secure and affordable.

nothing beats free in "affordable"

 

if this free also is "feature rich" and "just works", then we have a killer app

 

putty is just like that

 

 

Yep ! 

Since everyone seems to be placing a vote mine is putty set to not use the registry (use an ini instead)

I hope nothing ever used the stupid concept of registry.

Ugh! That's my biggest beef with Windows.

Have to agree.  The cure is far worse than the problem it was trying to solve!
