I wasn’t sure whether to put this in IMHO or GQ, so I’ll start it here, in IMHO. If anyone thinks it will generate more responses elsewhere, please report it/email a mod for me.

Ok, now for my question:

Does anyone know of a Windows ssh client that has one window with tabbed shells, something similar to X-Windows?

I’ve looked around and don’t see any right off. Some apps that I like (although they do not have tabs) are Putty and OpenSSH for Windows.

Thanks for looking.

I think that this has an answer, and will more likely find one in GQ.

Moved from IMHO to GQ.

Would [Poderosa](http://en.poderosa.org/) fit the bill?

(Note: I never personally used it)

Nice! I never heard of it, but after poking around with it I already like it better than Putty.

This looks promising. I’ll have time to check it out tomorrow. Thanks!  
**Khadaji** , I’m not sure we’ll be able to purchase this product because there are a lot of Linux users in my group. I’m stuck with Windows because of various other programs that won’t run on Linux. I’ll definitely give the evaluation product a try, though.
