Hello, Dave,
thanks to the pointer. SSHTerm looks very promising. When it supports HTTP and SOCKS proxy, SCP and remote command execution, then I will gladly replace Mindterm.
And a scripting language would be nice, too. And telnet and "classical" remote shell support would be nice, too, so that I could use the same client for every host I need to connect to.
Best regards and let's hope that SSHTerm's authors will continue good work.
Miro
