What is the best telnet software other than Putty

+3  A: 

PuTTY, if you are using Windows.

Did you putty afficianadoes not read the question? :-)

"other than putty" was edited into the question after the putty-answers.

Oh! Stack Overflow should mark edited articles as edited eventhough they do not have any replies/comments yet. :-)
Alan Haggai Alavi
edited into the question, but the history says the title always had it.

Actually, Alan, I didn't realize SO did that - removing the downvotes for the two putty-only answers. My apologies, guys.

@Pax: No problem at all. :-) I was in the process of uploading an image, anyway, here it is: http://i40.tinypic.com/16m57yc.jpg

+1 for being understanding (and right of course - putty is my first choice, at least for non-mainframe stuff).

+2  A: 

I would say Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) is the most popular.

+3  A: 

If you are using Windows and you want a free solution, then it's probably PuTTY. If you don't mind to spend a bit of money, then SecureCRT is as far as I know the most feature-rich.

+1  A: 

IBM Personal Communicator, just for its sheer configurability (and 3270 capability - few terminal emulators have both standard telnet and 3270 capability). But this is a subjective/argumentative question (hence my community wiki and close vote).
