Netterm is the best free terminal emulator I've met,  and on SuSe 9.1 I
copied \\sardine\pubapps\win32\netterm to ~/.wine/drive_c/netterm, and
do a "cd ~/.wine/drive_c/netterm;wine neterm.exe".  It just runs, no
fuss, no setup.  This is using the Wine that installs automatically with
the Mono packages from the Mono red-carpet channel.

I don't get the line-drawing font characters - but personally I don't
care and ain't willing to invest any time to figure out why.  Just lets
me use the same terminal emulation software as on Win32.
