If you want to connect to a Linux or BSD box from a Windows terminal and run modern curses-based applications like Midnight Commander, Tera Term is great (in TTY or in Telnet or SSH modes). Back in the BBS days with a modem, I discovered Telemate and never looked back at Procomm, although Procomm 2.4.2 was an excellent term for it's time. Procomm Plus sorta borrowed on 2.4.2's rep and I thought never delivered much more. And it wasn't shareware, to boot. (it was Bossware, the kind of software box you'd find on the shelf of 'the suits.') But anyhow. I used to do 'seat of the pants' adventuring like BBSing with the term.bas program that came bundled with PC-DOS 1.0. Not because it was very good, just because it was cool and minimalist.
