I'm following this thread because I too want a decent terminal

to be the torture test) but for Linux or OS X. Putty seems to be a
repeat suggestion but it's not for my platforms.

On OS X 10.9 and 10.11 I've had pretty good results from a terminal emulator called
Zoc from Em-Tec <https://www.emtec.com/zoc/index.html> It's a guy in Germany
and he has a couple products, but I think ZOC is his main thing. It runs on both
Windows and OS X. It's not free ($79.99) but, for me it was better than anything
else. I tried the current Ericon products for the Mac, and they aren't free either
and are a considerable bit more expensive and WAY slower. ZOC is pretty fast. I
also used ITerm/iTerm2 but neither of them could do serial ports. ZOC can talk to
systems using many protocols, serial included.
The author is good at communication and willing to discuss problems and fixes.
I talked to him initially about some of the keyboard mapping and he was very
good about it.
For Linux I've always heard use xterm (Mac, too but I didn't want to run X
windows if I didn't have to).
