Anyone interested in a client solution for the SSH, Telnet, Rlogin, and SUPDUP network protocols
About PuTTY
PuTTY is a free implementation of SSH and Telnet for Windows and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet, Rlogin, and SUPDUP network protocols. These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session, the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs. In really simple terms, you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else. All of PuTTY's settings can be saved in named session profiles. You can also change the default settings that are used for new sessions.

Hyper
Hyper is an Electron-based terminal, built on HTML/CSS/JS, and fully extensible. Install themes and plugins from the command line. The goal of the project is to create a beautiful and extensible experience for command-line interface users, built on open web standards. In the beginning, our focus will be primarily on speed, stability, and the development of the correct API for extension authors. In the future, we anticipate the community will come up with innovative additions to enhance what could be the simplest, most powerful, and well-tested interface for productivity. Extensions are available on npm. All command keys can be changed. Extensions are universal Node.js modules loaded by both Electron and the renderer process. Instead of exposing a custom API method or parameter for every possible customization point, we allow you to intercept and compose every bit of functionality! You can find additional details about plugin development in the Hyper repository.

Mac Terminal
When you're connected to multiple servers, the unique background colors and window titles shown in profiles help you easily identify the correct terminal window. Use the built-in profiles in Terminal, or create your own custom profiles. Add markup and bookmarks as you work, then use them to quickly navigate through the vast output in the terminal window. Use the inspector to view and manage active processes, and change window titles and background colors. Use profiles to customize the colors, font, cursor style, background, and other elements of Terminal windows. A profile is a collection of style and behavior settings for a terminal window. Terminal comes with a set of predefined profiles, but it also allows you to create your own custom profiles. Change settings for terminal type (terminfo), input, prompt behavior, and international encodings. Change settings for function keys, the option key, and the alternate display.
