Good to know, thank you.
I'm used to PuTTY (and, to a lesser extent, RealTerm).

I used HyperTerminal, PuTTY, Termite and others, in the end got fed up and rolled my own. The install free peaks my interest no need for admin rights? and it handles interrupts with out the HAL getting in the way... tell me more!

What did you not like about Termite?

No current need, I have been using Putty to connect to my OpenVMS systems most recently.
How about logging and slow text file send?

Termite is good, but when used with tree controls.

If you want something slightly more advanced I strongly recommend "PComm Lite" from MOXA.
It's free and can do much more, including TCP/IP.
It's currently available here: https://cdn-cms.azureedge.net/getmedia/188a99a0-fff8-4c18-ae0c-90768d10a90f/moxa-pcomm-lite-utility-v1.6.zip[^]

Is is just for COM ports? Does it do file transfer (hyperthing type) stuff? Guess I should try it and stop wasting your time.

It just monitors serial. I appreciate the simplicity

Ta. Know what you mean. I rolled my own.

I just roll out my VT220

...so I'll need a Windows version to replace it. The current system is brilliant - real paper cards, colour coded for category and actual sticky-up tabs for a very short description. Simple, fast, and I've been using it for more years than I care to remember, but I've run out of blank cards, and the ones in use are seriously tatty. The real kicker - I started using it when the digital freebie with Windows 3 (3.1?) disappeared!
Anybody out there know of anything that simple? Just colour coded cards and sticky-up tabs are the prime requirements, but my Google-fu hasn't found anything yet, and I really don't want to roll my own if I can help it.
Pretty please!

Than, but I am extremely reluctant to have this information online. The security of a locked box next to my desk is hard to beat!

Your bio says "Web Developer". I don't know if your lack of trust in your chosen development medium says more about you or the web.

The following in google certainly seemed to return what you described.

Thanks - I was searching for card index - clearly weak Googlefu! I shall check it out straight away.

Just dug up an old laptop - Lenovo T510i... It is from 2011 and the only modification is maxing out the memory.
Still had the original Win7 pro on it with Office 2013 and was practically useless even for student use...
I wiped it clean and installed Mint with LibreOffice and now it is a pretty usable computer that probably has an other decade in it...
I just realized how easily we throw out old computers instead of throwing out the software...

I have an old Asus laptop with Windows 10 that I try to keep up to date, but when not used on a daily basis it's practically useless because of the constant updates (Windows, Edge/Chrome browser etc).

Windows updates really grinds my gears! Security updates - sure, but all the additional crap is overwhelming and should be optional. Currently you can only postpone/pause this nonsense for a couple of weeks.

I beg to differ. There is nothing on a well configured linux box that I cannot do.
Office work. Libre works actually better the MSOffice.
Browsers - Chrome, Brave, Firefox and yes even Edge all have a version that work just fine.
RDP - Remmina is a fantastic RDP client for getting on any of the servers I need to get into.
VPN - Well Openconnect from command line works just wonderfully
Coding - vscode works, notepad++ works and lots of other clients. I am happy.
I have yet to encounter even one app that either doesn't work or that doesn't have a just as good one in Linux.
And the kicker is I feel alot safer in Linux because I set it up and I run the updates when I want to run the updates.

I agree with you 100%.
I run Ubuntu 22.04 as my WFH desktop computer.
I use Remmina and it is fantastic and so much better than the RDP client for Windows.
I connect to multiple work Win10 & Server 2022 desktops.
Why is Remmina so much better?
Because Remmina has a tabbed UI which allows connection to multiple remote desktops all while allow just a quick tab-switch to any other box.
I cannot actually believe that Win10 RDP does not do this. I have to open multiple windows and there's actually another thing too.
Win10 RDP client does not fully capture the keyboard unless the RDP client is fullscreened.
That means you cannot do extended key calls like ALT-TAB to iterate over open applications unless the Windows RDP client is full-screened.
In remmina, I can send that command to any of the remote desktops and the Remmina screen does not have to be full-screened.
