Version: AbsoluteTelnet Telnet / SSH Client 5.44
"I've been loyal user for 5 years. You can't beat Absolute Telnet."
Pros: I've tried lots of different telnet/ssh clients, and I have two long-time favorites: Putty and Absolute Telnet. Putty, because it's such a quick download that on someone else's machine i can run it without going through an install, and it runs ssh. But for my own machine, the only choice is Absolute Telnet. It stores my password, terminal appearance and connection settings so that it's literally 2 seconds from clicking the icon to being logged in to my remote ssh accounts. It's incredibly customizeable, but not overwhelmingly so. I hardly ever pay for software (I'm embarassed to say), but I like Absolute Telnet so much I've paid for the full version and I'm glad I did. It's important to note that this software is maintained by one guy, Brian Spence, who personally answers people's questions on his online forum and answers email inquiries (he's answered a couple of mine, and always been really helpful). I gotta say, you hardly ever get this kind of commitment and personal touch in software anymore.

Cons: There was an annoying bug a few years back that made the program become incompatible with Windows, but then the software was updated and the problem was fixed.

Version: AbsoluteTelnet Telnet / SSH Client 5.44
"Fantastic product; excellent support"
Pros: I have been using AbsoluteTelnet for a little over a month. We use it's SecureShell abilities as a login to our character-based applications on Linux servers. The product has performed exactly as advertised. Although I've had a few issues (i.e., not knowing how to do certain things in AbsoluteTelnet), the support has been excellent and all of the issues I've encountered have been resolved quickly.
