Have you used a free Terminal Emulator for Windows?
 

Hello, What is a good and free terminal emulator for use with Windows? I love Minicom on Linux CentOS and have used HyperTerminal years ago on Windows XP. Now that I need something free for Windows again, I am looking for something like Hyperterminal, but very free. Please post any suggestions. Thank you!

Have you looked at puTTY?

If you mainly want to ssh or telnet into other boxes. This tool is great.

PS.: It also has a Symbian port: http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/ which I use to check my boxes when I'm around. Nifty. :)

I use puTTY to connect to my boxes though SSH.

puTTY! and I also use WinSCP if you want to transfer files to/from windows/linux

Cygwin.

Very nice. Thanks for the input, I will try them out. Will they all work with XP? I will not be using Vista for my router configs. Oh yes I forgot to mention I will be teaching myself how to do router configurations on cisco IOS, that is why I need free terminal emulation software.

AFAIK Hyperterminal is still very free with XP (but not Vista) :)
As stated PuTTY would also be a good choice.

...puTTY, Cygwin, AFAIK, WinSCP. If there are any others, post them because I am still compiling names to see what works for me. I probably won't give them a try until next weekend. I'll follow up with some feedback. Thanks for the help everyone.
