I use zterm and find it a good program.  Not as full featured as some of the
other commercial products.  But it seems to have most everything I need and it
works well in the background.

If you have paid your shareware fees for Red Ryder you may find upgrading to
White Knight might be the best way to go.  I don't know the cost (I haven't
done this myself) but it has got to be cheaper than buying it new.....
