Hello James,

I know the other two mentioned telnet clients and would recommend:
"PuTTY"

It's free.
Very easy to install and use: Just run it ... ;)
Already includes full SSH support.
Perfect terminal emulation for *ix.
Some other features that you probably won't need.

Disadvantage: No scripting.


Disadvantages of the other two (IMHO):

TeraTerm: Too much configuration neccessary. Couldn't get it to display
"mc"'s output like on the Linux box. SSH only as plugin.

ZOC: Costs. I bought a license, but only because I needed its
capability for scripting transfers (REXX) and its modem connection
features. For all other Telnet/SSH needs I use PuTTY.


Regards,
Norbert
