I don't think I've ever seen a configuration interface I actually liked 
on any terminal emulator. There are many many things that you might 
need/want to twiddle, and no attempt to organize them into logical 
groupings has really worked as far as I'm concerned. Much as I like 
putty too, I can't say I like it's config dialogs any better than 
anything else or dislike Anzio's any worse than anything else. From 
ice-tcp to procomm to anzio to securcrt to teraterm to kermit ... The 
only saving grace is the few that have the ability to package up a set 
of configs into a clickable, portable, file so at least you only have 
dig through it once, even on new machines & new installs.
