MacTerm (was MacTelnet) on Mac OS X is now a complete replacement for Terminal, allowing access to both local and remote applications.
Its many features include powerful terminals (with or without tabs), a very flexible preferences system, TEK vector graphics, dynamic search, notifications and keep-alive, macros, a floating command line window, special keypads, a session manager, and even a basic Python scripting interface. It's also free software under the GPL.

What's New
Version 4.0.0.b.20120121:
- This project has been renamed "MacTerm". This emphasizes the fact that the program is a full terminal on Mac OS X that is in no way limited to telnet sessions.
- In the last few months there have been substantial changes! Major improvements have been made to the XTerm and VT220 emulators. Full Screen mode has been tweaked in several ways. The Local Echo interface has been enhanced, to better indicate "invisible" inputs such as control characters. Notification windows (when not using Growl) have a new appearance and behavior. Macros can now more easily use control characters. And, a number of bugs have been fixed. These changes are available now, in the latest daily build.
- But there are even more features in the works...
- The most significant feature under development is emulator-level support for UTF-8, instead of the "mostly UTF-8" translation mechanism that is currently used. This will fix a lot of apparent bugs that depend on exactly what text is displayed and how the text was encoded. It will also return to normal some features that were broken by simplistic UTF-8 support, like single-byte replacements for escape sequences.
- Another task is to fix a variety of user interface problems that are frankly caused entirely by the simultaneous use of the Carbon and Cocoa frameworks; for example, tabbed windows are susceptible to bugs in sheets that cannot occur in windows where the tabs are turned off. A hybrid approach was absolutely necessary as an interim solution, but there is constant effort to peel away dependencies on older technologies and cure the "warts" in the user interface's behavior.
