• Show network properties (SSID, Mac address, channel, strength, etc.);
• Works well on Vista and WindowsXP 64;
• It can graph signal strength over time;

Overall a very useful program to have installed on your laptop and a great replacement for NetStumbler, which does not work on Vista.

Terminals is a remote desktop client program with a multi tabbed interface interface. Using multiple tabs it allows you to manage multiple connections at a time. It also allows you to store the connection properties, so the next time you connect it is enough to either type or choose your connection.

Edit (25 Oct 2007):  Terminals (1.6b Release) now supports the following protocols in addition to RDP – VNC, VMRC, RAS, Telnet, SSH, ICA Citrix. It is getting ahead of the other softwares…

Royal TS goes a little further with more features. It is using an explorer like interface. You can organize your terminal connections in categories and can have multiple category/connection sets. It can display the session information, including the username used for the session. Another useful feature is the ability to connect to the remote console session. Similarly to Terminals can store your username and password, so you don’t have to type them every time.

Even though both programs have many advantages over the remote desktop client included with windows I tend to favor more the Royal TS over Terminals. Both are definitely worth a try!

P.S. I looked at Royal TS 1.3.2 and Terminals 1.01

Update 7 Sept 2007: I have come across yet another terminal tabbed client – RD Tabs. Looks like it is worth a look.
