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.
