I didn't even know that there was a putty version for Unix :-) Funny - 
it looks exactly like the Windows version and I can also confirm that it 
works in pkgsrc-2020Q3. Thanks for the tip!

You're right though - what Putty out of the Box can do is not much 
different from what would be possible in a normal UTF8-Xterm with the 
ssh-client and a well maintained .ssh/config.

So I'll keep looking - the bar is now set at mRemoteNG ;-)

Many greetings
Matthias
