    a better terminal emulator?

    So, im working in hyperterminal quite a bit, and im tired of it not letting me select my emulation when I connect. It always does that autodetect crap, which never works. I have to disconnect, enter the properties window, and select my emulator so I can use vi editor. I always forget, until after I set my permissions and get where I want to be, so I have to do it twice. Anybody got one that I can set up to default to vt100j? Thanks...

    Putty will let you do that, if you change the default connections.

    You can also save different connections to HyperTerminal and open different ones as necessary.

      Nice. I think I heard the bigwigs talking about that program, so maybe I can get me some of that!

            Terminate is a really good terminal program, been around since at least the early 90s. Used it all the time back during the BBS days.

              Putty is the easiest. If you needed more common linux features for windows, you could also install cygwin. http://www.cygwin.com/

                There is also SerialTerm which is a CLI TE. However, I'm not sure if it has all the functions of PuTTy.

                  If you don't mind spending a bit, SecureCRT is a good program. However, PUTTY will do what you're asking for her.

                    I would push for putty. It's got virtually everything you'll ever need.

                        Another alternative - one that I and others in my group use - is TeraTerm.

                          I use putty, and procomm plus.
                          Putty is a great free app, but procomm plus does so much more, you can setup your own key mapping, build scripts or record key strokes for repetitive tasks.
