   I personally use ZoC, but that was mostly as a personal preference.  I much   
   prefer it to HyperTerminal on Windows.  It supports tabs, supports IEMSI   
   (which comes in handy because I often create randomly generated passwords),   
   and it also support SSH (the primary reason I picked it up).   
      
   I currently use it in Wine in Linux most of the time and it appears to   
   cooperate pretty well.  I think there's also a Mac version, so if ever I   
   decided to move to that platform (unlikely), I guess I have that going for   
   me, which is nice.
