MacOS Terminal alternative/replacement like SecureCRT SSH Client (Mac OS X)? [closed]

I understand Terminal.app is the way most people use for telnet/ssh connections on the Mac, but I'm wondering if there is something like SecureCRT on the Mac.

"I've never used SecureCRT myself, but from what you describe, the ZOC Terminal Emulator should fit your bill (it's commercial though, but as I understand, so is SecureCRT). Some guy on Versiontracker commented, it was the closest thing to SecureCRT for the Mac.

It uses REXX as a scripting language (a bit somewhere between basic and perl), is centered around a host directory (it can be split in sections and each can have subfolders) and connects for telnet, ssh, rlogin, modem and also has a local shell for the Mac (although for local work I'm still mostly opening the native Terminal). The list of emulations looks fairly complete to me, at least I've never missed one and there are some that I never had any need for. It's available for Windows too if that's of any interest.

Screenshots are here."

iTerm2 came a long way since the iTerm of the old days with helpful features like full-screen, split-pane, paste history, etc. (see features).
