If you care to re-read the original post a little more closely, you'll
see he also asked about what emus people are using.  Emus are not
necessarily tied to a particular thin client (or indeed any client).

FYI, putty runs on several platforms, not just Windows.

Facetwin is exclusively a Windows product tho, as the name suggests.
It would likely run on the thin client Wyse (not that I know, just
guessing).

He said "thin".  I would consider PuTTY itself remarkably thin--but it
requires Windows' GUI to run.  Windows is definitely -not- thin.
