And anyway, it’s bad form to advertise your commerical software like that in blog comments, especially on an open source related blog.

I’ve never used AbsoluteTelnet, but I’ll check it out.

For windows users, I can recommend either PuTTY (lightweight, open source, zero install process) or SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9 (older free version of their commercial client, good sftp support, way more featureful than putty).

No version of windows comes with an SSH client. Heck, Vista doesn’t even come with a TELNET client! I’d recommend AbsoluteTelnet for both telnet and ssh. Check my sig below for a link.
