Terminal emulation recommendations for character cell applications on OpenVMS and Linux

What terminal emulators are you using for your Legacy DBL applications on OpenVMS and Linux. We have been using Powerterm, but it is not compatible with new versions of Linux. We are looking at SecureCRT. Has anyone used that product?

I am using Putty release 0.83 though not all putty versions are working fine, this one comes close.

We use Rocket Terminal Emulator (RTE) on OpenVMS.   I understand that it is available for Linux.

Reflection. Love it because it has a Terminal Keyboard on-screen option (easy to operate all the F & PF keys)

We've always used SmarTerm by Esker, because of its good local printing handling.

I've used SmartTerm and Putty.   Both do a good job.  I prefer SmartTerm, as it seems easier to use.   But Putty is free.
