iTerm
Current Version: 0.10 (October 8, 2009)
iTerm is a full featured terminal emulation program written for OS X using Cocoa. It supports language encodings, VT100/ANSI/XTERM emulation and many convenient GUI features. iTerm is merged from CTerminal and TerminalX. The program is based on the code of JTerminal, and a large part of the original code is rewritten to implement more features and to run more efficiently. The current version is still in a beta stage. Features include:
- Native Cocoa application that supports Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
- Supports all language encodings that are available with OS X.
- Complete VT100 emulation, with additional support for most common xterm and ANSI escape sequences.
- Xterm compatibility
- Address book
- Anti-idle function that avoids disconnection because of no activity
- Transparent windows
- Multi-Tab within one window
Version 0.10 adds/changes the following:
- Smart window placement - new terminals are position to avoid overlap with existing ones
- Open new tab in previous directory (See FAQ to get this to work)
- Improved drawing performance, particularly when the scrollback buffer is full
- Better interactivity when terminals are busy, menus no longer block applications
- Various terminal emulation fixes
- Cryptographically signed auto updates
User Reviews
[0.8.2] "I really liked the tabbed terminal, which is similar to Konsole in KDE, but it lagged when I was typing since my powerbook is only 867MHz. GLTerm was much faster on my powerbook, but GLTerm doesn't do tabs. :-("

Finally, take a look at ALEMIA if you think you know that name of an application, but aren't quite sure.
