It'll do anything and everything you need. I just think it gives me an impression of being a stop-gap solution rather than a full-featured terminal program, but I am definitely wrong. It's a single pop-up menu with no submenus, but oddly enough it covers just about anything you need it to - particularly once you configure your connection. It's got probably the best ANSI emulation I've seen in a long time, it supports ANSI/ASCII and (believe it or don't) PETSCII in 40 and 80 column modes!

Syncterm is by far the most feature rich of the modern terminals, and you can compile from source, but if you hit fullscreen or fullscreen window with a monitor aspect ratio that's not 4:3, it will stretch things out and can look off.
