I heard recently that PuTTY had been ported to OS X.   There seems to
be no point at all to this.

Open a Terminal, type "ssh <hostname>"...what's so tough about that?
It works fine.

Terminal.app doesn't provide a shiny GUI to connect to physical serial ports. ;)

  Well I guess if people "need" that sort of thing...but then, I
respectfully submit that those are the types of people who aren't afraid
of the keyboard.

(yes, I know GNU screen can do it too.   I agree it seems fairly pointless.)

  Yes.   And if memory serves, screen ships with OS X by default.
