Best Terminal Program for Windows

I am working with a lot of remote computers and network devices using a terminal program. I currently use PuTTY for my terminal program of choice. But, I was wondering what everyone else uses. I wouldn't mind a new one. Perhaps one that I could throw on a flash drive, too... SecureCRT or similar?

I just ordered a USB to Serial adapter, so hopefully it would need to support that. I hope PuTTY supports it, too.

It is mainly for Cisco equipment and remote Linux CLI work.

I use putty too. It'll handle the USB to serial port adapters without a problem; they're just another COM port as far as the local system is concerned.

SecureCRT... I've used putty with the usb to serial adapter and never had the best of luck with it.

Cool, then. I was just curious as to if there was anything else out there that I was missing. I think I'll stick with PuTTY unless the USB/Serial adapter doesn't work.

Awesome.

I use AbsoluteTelnet. Really nice tool IMO, although it isn't free. Poderosa is another one to check out if you don't want to spend any money. I like it better than Putty.

putty, and a digi serial server on our relay rack. I can SSH or telnet into any of the serial servers ports, or fire up a web console. Works super well. We have ports for all of our cisco gear, fiber switches, NetApp SAN, and a few of the server LOMs.
