I have never used tera term so I can't help you there. If you want to 
try openssh, I can provide both a 32 bit installer (works with Windows 
7) and a jaws script. The only other thing you can do is to join   the 
jaws scripting list. If you already know a programming language, you 
shouldn't have too much trouble picking up the jaws scripting language. 
You might have to spend a few days learning how to write jaws scripts 
but it's not too difficult.

Typically what you have to do in your jaws script for a terminal 
emulator is mess around with functions that are called when new text 
appears on the screen and the function that echos key presses. My 
openssh script, for example, recognizes a password prompt and turns off 
key echo until you press the enter key. Obviously that was important so 
people couldn't hear me type in passwords for things like mysql, sudoing 
to root, and stuff like that. Even if your initial login password isn't 
spoken, once you're on the remote server, you are probably typing 
passwords all the time. So you really need to either find a script that 
recognizes password prompts, write one yourself, or turn off key echo 
every time you need to enter a password.

I suspect that while you may be able to make things work a little better 
by tweaking your jaws configuration, if you're going to de using your 
terminal emulator a lot every day, you will probably want to either find 
jaws scripts or write them yourself.
