SecureCRT if > you're in North America. I don't see what you are referring to by calling it "messy". You install the plug-in and you get an added selection of SSH in the connection dialog. Select it and connect and you get a screen asking for you pass phrase and the location of the identity file. (The location of the identity file is normally saved so it need be entered only one.) For a standard connection, I click the TeraTerm icon, hit a return to connect, enter my pass phrase, and I'm in. I can't see that as messy. Forwards my X traffic over the ssh tunnel as well. I've tried SecureCRT and it's quite nice, too, but I don't think the SSH1 integration is any better than that in TeraTerm. What was weak (although I believe it's now better) was the documentation. Simply put, drop the ttssh files into the TeraTerm folder and set the environment variable TERATERM_EXTENSIONS to 1 in the place appropriate to your OS. R.
