   Network clients/services recommendation?

   My disappointment with NetSarang's "Xmanager Suite" has   
   finally boiled over.  Too many silly bugs.  And, its   
   obvious that they don't even have the underlying   
   (decades old!) technology correct.   
      
   Their suite includes:   
   - X server   
   - lpd   
   - TELNET/SSH console   
   - FTP client   
      
   I can live without lpd as I can make those connections without   
   need of an intermediary (esp if that would require a Windows   
   host to be running!)   
      
   Any suggestions?   
      
   If *all* I needed was the ftp client, I would standardize   
   on Beyond Compare (which I have heartily recommended to my   
   colleagues).  It has very few bugs and there are workarounds   
   for them (albeit annoying).   
      
   I can use PuTTY for SSH/TELNET; not as nice of an interface   
   but it seems very reliable.   
      
   The X server is the holdup.  I'm using VNC to work around that   
   but it complicates the clients' configuration.
