I am starting my Unix class in a week and am going through some of the lessons connection to one of the Unix systems at my college. The problem I am having is that I need to be able to print my remote sessions localy. The Unix system that I am connecting to is a 1.5 hour drive away and I cant really be driving up there all the time to print to the printers on that system.
Two of the things I am looking for are the ability to print or save a session and a larger screen buffer than what is available with the Telnet program bundled with windows. If I new Linux better I could probably do it on my Mandrake box, but then I probably wouldnt be taking this class.

I can't remember which one was the best but I downloaded a few from Download.com (http://www.download.com). They have all kinds of terminals to choose from, some free and some for a price.

One that I liked the best was called Penguin or something along those lines. It'll probably stand out if it's something close to that. It was one of the higher rated ones listed.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific but you should be able to find whatever you need there.

Thanks, I found a program called EasyTerm, it will log the session and save it to a text file. Every once in a while while logging a session it will mess up the screen but otherwise works good. Thanks for the reply.
