- Blinks tray icon when a bell signal is received
- Configurable window transparency
- URL hyperlinking
- Portability: optionally stores session configuration in files (for example: on a USB drive) like portaPuTTY
- Easy access to the 'always on top' setting (in the system menu)
- Reconnects when your PC wakes up from stand-by
- Attempts to reconnect when the connection fails
