VanDyke makes the best telnet clients I have ever used. I now exclusively
used SecureCRT (since my server was hacked) and also SecureFX, which is
their secure FTP client. SecureFX is the security version of AbsoluteFTP.
Both feature drag & drop interfaces and are as every bit as good and clean
as CRT and SecureCRT.

An ISP in northern California that I gave some seed capital to way back in
1994 when they were small but growing has similar service. Humans always
answer the phone, and they are still small enough to still like their
customers, but big enough to be a full service ISP with good service.
They also have nationwide dialups.
