Hi, Phil!
Personally, I tend to prefer AppGate's MindTerm :
http://www.appgate.com/products/80_MindTerm/
This is free... source is available (though the license is far from GPL
- can't use it for heavy business use, but it is free for personal,
educational, and also small business deployments).
It is written in Java. Works as an applet (available form a web site) or
as an application (run from shell through "java -jar mindterm.jar" command).
It does SSH, of course, but offers a GUI for tunnel set up, offers
SOCKS, TELNET, SCP, sFTP plugins/tunnels by default.
You need the Sun Java VM (either downloaded directly from
http://java.sun.com/ if you want the very latest, or installed as the
sun-java5-jre package from your favorite package manager, strangely,
this is a slightly older version), but appart from that, it runs
marvelously on Ubuntu (and any OS that runs Java 1.4 or better).
