I've never even heard of Teraterm.  Is that another client?

Hi,
This comes up every once in a while on this list. Maybe the archives will help. 
I seem to remember two things. Putty works, but once data starts to scroll past 
the end of the screen, JAWS repeats the whole screen. I believe that some 
people are using Cygwin or a client based off of it, or both. It may matter 
which version of TeraTerm you are using. I forget.

hello all:
Here are my thoughts, I'm curious if anyone has used these and can give me some 
insite.
First, I used CRT for quite some time, I seem to have lost my key for
4.1 and a copy costs $100. For me, that's quite a lot of money especially at 
this time. I really liked 4.1 because the prompt was at the bottom and 
everything just sort of scrolled down so it'd append to the bottom. Now half 
the screen is empty until your screen is full, but I could deal with that, were 
it not for the $100. So I moved on to greener pastures, or so I hoped. I first 
tried openssh.
This works except for a few  problems.
First, when I am using something like irssi it will read the last line, then it 
reads everything else (the bottom two status lines). This is kind of 
irritating, especially when I am in a room with a lot of chatter. Jaws, for 
whatever reason also just kind of hangs after a while, and only displays like 
the bottom line from a chat 10 or so messages back. The only solution to this 
is to detach screen, exit and restart openssh.
Second, I usually have 3 sometimes four ssh windows open at a time.
Using openssh, even when you use title from the command prompt, you have a 
administrator: C:title Last, it seems to have issues with ppk pairs with no 
passwords. I usually just use ppk pairs and cycle them out every month; I get a 
stronger authentication and I can just quickly log in. This is especially nice 
due to a bug I've found in scp where sometimes it will ask for the password and 
you won't know, until you realize that your files are not saving.
So, next I moved on to Teraterm. I've tried this before, but I wanted to give 
it a shot, again.
I'm noticing two issues with this, mainly the fact that jaws, even with the 
script does not read output.
I'm also having trouble finding how to save connections and set a 
public-private key pair for login so that I can just click on a connection and 
log in.
This may be a feature that TT itself is lacking, or it may just be me.
Any sort of ideas would be excellent, in any case, to make one of these work 
better.

Take care,
