For a "known" connection, there is no setup necessary. For a "new" 
connection, Anzio asks first for your terminal type (which PuTTY doesn't 
even offer), then how you want to connect (SSH vs. telnet, etc., and host 
name or address). By contrast, PuTTY presents one treeview where you have 
to hunt around for settings. How is Anzio "whacky"?

Or are you referring to the popup "Connecting to..." box? That was done 
make connections cancellable. But we *have* recently added an "inline 
authentication" option, in which your username and password are asked for 
on the main screen. Soon to be released.
