Its funny, I was just talking about the telnet app that comes
with Windows and how crappy it was; its refresh code is a mess,
and anyone whose tried to use vi with it knows what I'm talking
about (TIP: the bigger the font the better the real-estate, with
diminishing return...)
BUT there is hope for you folk trapped in Win32 hell:

Is simple, its easy, it works, just drop it somewhere on your
file system and use it. Its free, it does both plain telnet
and ssh, its doesn't need to write a bunch of crap to the
LIE that is the Windows registry, it has few of its own needs,
dependency-wise, its simply great. So if you want a Win32
telnet client that doesn't need a whole lot of fanfare and system
registration and nonsense to run, this is the one.
