An address book is better than that. Win95 just remembers where you've been
last. A real address book will let you specify which hosts to save, and lets
you do things like specify different options for each session. (Different
terminal emulations, different color schemes, different key mappings,
different scripts, different macros.)

Ok. But still, it doesn't support ANSI colors....

No, it couldn't do telnet. But it was also only a demo applet -- it couldn't
do anything advanced either. (No colors, no scripts, no zmodem...)
