Try AbsoluteTelnet! Not only does it support <a href="http://www.celestialsoftware.net/telnet">telnet</a> as the MS client does, but it also supports <a href="http://www.celestialsoftware.net">SSH</a>, which is a better security choice. It has a tabbed interface, advanced security, and is translated into seven languages! If you’re looking for a good tabbed terminal client, look no further. Try AbsoluteTelnet!

Tabbed applications really make life easier. But I do not see the point in having softwares like wintabber because is it not what the OS is doing? I mean, imagine if you have all the application running within this container - might they as well not run outside it? Yes, indeed. Tabbed applications really make life easier.

This doesn't change the program, but does add tab functionality to putty or anyt other program you desire. i’m working on a project at the moment that does exactly what Smitty McSmith is talking about, that is provide a empty container and add tab functionality to any program you want.

It wouldn't be nearly as nice as if it was inherently built into the program itself, but would provide the functionality that you’re looking for.

It is keyboard driven and uses only tabs and tiling, no regular windows at all. http://iki.fi/tuomov/ion/ I used it some years ago under Linux, and it worked quite well then. It would be nice to try it again. The Ion window manager is quite interresting. It is keyboard driven and uses only tabs and tiling, no regular windows at all.

This is a very common feature on linux, and I am positive that clients exist for OSX and Windows. I personally use Virtual Dimension on Windows. You can set up hotkeys for each workspace (I usually use about 4 at a time), that enable you to quickly switch between them. I honestly don't know if I could say that having virtual desktops has improved the amount of work I do, but it has fixed that nagging attribute of always having to keep a clean desktop/task bar. :-) Virtual Dimension http://virt-dimension.sourceforge.net/ In one sense, a fully tabbed user interface has already been invented, it’s called “Virtual Desktops” or “Workspaces”.
