Currently Teraterm is probably the best client for Windows environment. It Is the only one that I know that understands middle mouse button. The product has non-intuitive configuration and there is no history of visited sites but generally functionality is very good.  The most recent version is 4.30: teraterm_utf8_430.exe

There is an old version TeraTerm Pro Web (anabdonware) that works on Windows 95/98, 2000, XP.

It has slightly cleaner interface but does not support ssh2.

Using telnet's command mode

When you use the Solaris telnet command to log in from one site to another, don't forget that you can enter telnet's command mode at any time during your session, usually by entering the following key sequence:

    [CTRL] ] (the control key and right-bracket key at the same time)

When this is successful, you'll see the following prompt:

    telnet>

Then, from the "telnet>" prompt, enter "?" to learn more about the available telnet commands. A few commands that will give you more help at the prompt are shown below:

    display        displays many current Telnet settings
    send ?        displays commands you can "send" to the remote site
    set ?             displays variables that can be set

One of my favorites (mostly when fooling around) is:

    send ayt

which means "send this message: are you there?".

TeraTerm 3.1.3 - Telnet, SSH2, SSL Client with built in Web Server

TeraTerm Pro Web is the next generation tool for connecting with remote Telnet and SSH hosts. It is built based on the extremely popular open-source TeraTerm product put out by T. Teranishi in 1999 (click here for original site). In keeping with the original philosophy and spirit of the author, our modified version is completely free!!

Downloads TeraTerm Pro Web works on Windows 95/98, 2000, XP. Here are the latest TeraTerm Pro Web releases:

Background
As big-time fans of the original, we realized that there were a host of missing features that could make it immensely more useful, namely:

WCTS - SSH Documentation

MindTerm is an SSH client that will only function in browsers supporting Java (JDK 1.1); this includes all versions of Internet Explorer since 4.0 and all Netscape since 4.06 - in other words, it will probably work in your browser.

First, start MindTerm. The program will load in a few seconds, then prompt you with this: 'SSH Server/Alias: marcus.whitman.edu'. Ensure that your designated server is displayed on the screen, and then press <Enter>.

Important! Once you log off of the server, remember to close the browser in order to reset MindTerm - otherwise, someone may see who last used MindTerm.

Console telnet for Win32 was moved to sourceforge.

ShellTelnet Rudenko software. Abandonware. Interesting but still pretty buggy...

ShellTelnet is a Windows telnet client intended for use with a Unix/Linux shell account.

In addition to the classic telnet functionality, ShellTellnet introduces a new way of browsing Unix hosts. ShellTelnet allows the user to browse files and folders on a remote machine using the Windows Explorer interface.

ShellTelnet includes a hidden FTP client. It makes possible to transfer files without a use of slow and archaic utilities like Kermit and zmodem.

To use ShellTelnet you need a local Windows machine and a remote machine running Unix or Linux. It is assumed that the default shell on the remote machine is BASH.

Background
As big-time fans of the original, we realized that there were a host of missing features that could make it immensely more useful, namely:

TeraTerm -- free Telnet client. This version does not support ssh2.0 as far as I know

The best open sourced telnet client for Windows I found so far


HyperTerminal Personal Edition

This is an update to the applet supplied with Windows '95. The important addition is Telnet capabilities. The update is free and now you can have Telnet with ZModem downloading

HyperTerminal Private Edition

HyperTerminal Private Edition is a more powerful version of HyperTerminal, which comes in Windows 95, Windows 98, and NT 4.0.

Hilgraeve began providing "private editions" of HyperTerminal free for personal use shortly after Microsoft launched Windows 95, to satisfy end user requests and increase public awareness of HyperACCESS, its full-featured product from which HyperTerminal is derived. Businesses and individuals that learn of Hilgraeve and HyperACCESS in this way often purchase HyperACCESS. Businesses whose needs are met by HyperTerminal PE often purchase site licenses for this popular upgrade to HyperTerminal, which is free only for personal use.

HyperACCESS brings you these and many other benefits:
