Publisher's Description
From Celestial Software:
AbsoluteTelnet provides Telnet, SSH, SSH2, SFTP, dialup, and serial connectivity in the new tabbed multi-session interface or the classic single-session interface. A wide range of emulations are provided, including VT100, VT220, VT320, XTERM, WYSE60, ANSI, SCO-ANSI, Televideo, ANSI-BBS, and QNX. Packed with options such as dynamic port forwarding, SOCKS5, IPV6, BIDI (bidirectional text), Arabic shaping, port forwarding, file transfer, and IDNA (International Domain Names for Applications), Absolute is sure to support the technology you need. Absolute supports single-sign-on capability through advanced authentication features such as smartcard, DoD CAC, and GSSAPI (ActiveDirectory, Kerberos and NTLM). Encryption options such as Blowfish, Twofish, AES, Arcfour, 3DES, Cast128, IDEA, and RC4 provide maximum security in today's insecure environments. SFTP, xmodem, ymodem, and zmodem protocols provide extensive file-transfer support. AbsoluteTelnet supports connections on serial ports greater than COM9 and has a variable scrollback size.
What's new in this version: Version 9.53 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Demo installation is annoying"
Version: AbsoluteTelnet Telnet / SSH / SFTP Client 9.18

Installation too annoying to bother with the demo.
Spawns several website pages (on install, to get demo license, on uninstall)... ahhh -

"The very best SSH and telnet client you will find."
Version: AbsoluteTelnet Telnet / SSH / SFTP Client 7.18
Pros
Very configurable. I like that I can color code each connection so at a glance I know if this is a production environment or development environment. Copy and Paste on the right click saves typing and time. The tabbed interface saves desktop room.
Cons
Minor annoyance: SFTP runs as part of the main window not as independent. However the sftp is such a great bonus this is just an annoyance, not a problem.
Summary
I tried probably 15 recommended SSH clients before selecting this one. Hands down it is the best. You can do your own investigation and if you give this product a fair test you will send your money to Brian.

"Compact, easy to use, great emulation"
Version: AbsoluteTelnet Telnet / SSH / SFTP Client 6.28
Pros
Very easy to use. Solid Emulation. SFTP now built in. Serial, SSH1 and SSH2 is great for Cisco shops. On the fly terminal resizing.
Cons
SFTP still has some bugs and is slower than using free utilities like WinSCP
Should auto sense SSH1 or SSH2
Occasional crashes using SFTP
Cut and Paste should use standard cut and paste keysSummary
I've been using Absolute Telnet for years. It now supports SFTP, but still needs a lot of bugs worked out with that. This is by far the best emulation product I've used, and I've used everything from Procomm to miniterm to Putty. Tabbed interface makes working on multiple devices easy. I use this to connect to Cisco equipment as well as Linux hosts (especially VMWare ESX hosts). I've even used this to connect to some old BBS's and for nostaligic sake I downloaded some old Apogee games via Zmodem.. One of my favorite features is the automatic terminal resizing and ease of changing fonts, a la the terminials found in most Linux distrubutions.
My only wish list items are tftp client/server bundled in for working with Cisco, and a Linux port to replace the hideous xminiterm.....
I would rate this as 5 stars as a pure emulator, but it does include SFTP which needs to be refined, so I'm rating the whole package as 4 stars. -

"Rock solid product, and stellar support"
Version: AbsoluteTelnet Telnet / SSH / SFTP Client 6.28
Pros
Everything I've ever wanted to configure or customize about how it works, it can. Yet it's not bloated with a bunch of un-necessary features. It has exactly what I need in an SSH and SFTP client, works every time, never crashes, never gives me trouble. Incredibly intuitive, too. Everything is where I'd expect it'd be. Simply brilliant.
