Ok, got stuff back up and running, and back to good ol' Linux. Never was a big fan of TF, so whats another good client?

I use kmuddy, which uses KDE and QT. It's a great graphical client with regular expression triggers, colorisation, macro keys, and other necessary features.

Check out the cvs version, it's pretty stable. And it has some great features.
For the console, however, I think you're pretty much stuck with TF. I know you can do really wild things with it, but I never gotten down and dirty with it. And I run X, so I don't need to use it.

run zmud 5.55 through OpenOffice damn I love OpenOffice, and zmud 5.55 is still leagues above the rest of the competition from what ive been able to tell (mainly because TF makes my brain bleed before acting like much more than telnet.
