I've tried both putty and secure crt. Is there a client that will actually let me easily review input and actually use build in text editors? neither of them seem to work well with jaws.

I've not found a *great option, but the best one I've found is open SSH for windows. Once it's installed, you run it from your command prompt. You can find it at http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ Hope that helps.

Liam, when you used Secure CRT, were you using the JAWS cripts that have been written for it? Secure CRT isn't the best at letting you use the editors over the SSH session, but reviewing your input and seeing the output can be done with the JAWS cursor, and with the scripts, output is automatically read to you.

I just install cygwin and check the install everything box. A nice ssh client comes along with the other 2 or so gigs of software that gets installed that way.
