An alternative Alternative is Tera Term with SSH extensions.
(http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html) which is FreeWare,
and has the source included. It's a really great package (even supports X11
Forwarding). And best of all, it's totally FREE! even for commercial profit
making organisations.
