Open Source Terminal Software

I have written on Open Source Telnet, SSH and RDP software before. Here is another open source terminal software.

Realterm is a terminal program specially designed for capturing, controlling and debugging binary and other difficult data streams. It is far better for debugging comms than Hyperterminal. It has no support for dialing modems, BBS etc – that is what hyperterminal does.
