   MacSSH is nice (it even handles EUC-JP) but I hate to launch classic 
so I use Terminal on MacOS X unless I really need it.
   Speaking of Terminal, I have found when you cut & paste from Terminal 
(with encoding UTF-8 as default, with other encodings listed but none of 
which is useful) to anything, it does not preserve ascii; backslashes 
are all converted to yen mark!  This is annoying as hell.
   What's so funny is that you can run utf8-savvy xterm on XDarwin and X 
to Aqua clipboard works -- on Ascii.  When you copy non-ascii part then 
your clipboard becomes '#' times number of characters copied.
