Telnet Viewer?

Hi, I am running programs on mulitple ESP8266 chips that communicate with one another. I am using telnet to act as a serial monitor for wireless debugging. I am using the windows client that is built in and it works OK, but its kind of annoying that it is DOS based, single window only, ect...

IS there something better? For example, 1 click addresses (instead of typing in the IP address), auto-reconnect, and "tabs" would be some nice features...

does anything like that exist?

You might want to look into PuTTY.

Thanks SurferTim! The original putty didnt have all the functionality, but this fork:

supports auto reconnect :smiley: Still a lot of windows but at least i dont have to do the "IP address to controller" conversion in my head every time and it will auto reconnect when i upload a new sketch. Thanks!
