3. Replace MS Telnet

One great replacement for MS telnet is AbsoluteTelnet from Celestial Software.

It supports telnet, ssh, serial, dialup, plus plenty of emulation options. It also takes care of adding the appropriate registry entries to open telnet URLS from IE or Mozilla. (adds ssh url support as well for both browsers)

telnet
ssh
