(Sorry if this is a duplicate post... I posted my previous response with the wrong email address and wasn't sure if it'd go through.) Yes, I used PuTTY back in the day. I came to like Kermit (I use it both in Windows and Linux) because of some of it's advanced features like scripting. Kermit hasn't been updated much over the last... Hm, I don't know the last time it was updates. :-| Anyway, I think they're both good clients, Kermit just supports a LOT of features that I find useful that PuTTY doesn't (yet?) support. Did you (or anyone else :-) ) have any other suggestions to this dilemma? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
