MacTelnet for Mac OS X - Terminal Emulator- Under development

MacTelnet is a Mac OS X Terminal replacement, running local or remote applications.  The separate or tabbed windows have dynamic search, notifications and keep-alive, focus-follows-mouse, copy-on-select, and other Unix-like behaviors among the many options.  Utility windows are also available, like a floating command line, special keypads, a session list, and TEK graphics.  Read the list of new features in 3.1 for Mac OS X users!
