Putty should be the best 'putty like client' I think...-)

OOoopsm perhaps I should have been a little clearer, I want
a client to run on a windows machine, that will use dialup -
ie a modem to then dial into a Linux box.

There you find the windows program.

Are you searching a dialer or a telnet program?

Telnet type program with dialer support and the terminal
support ie VT100, ANSI, etc. of putty.

Telnet.
So, what is it that you are really looking for?
Are you looking for an ANSI terminal program for Microsoft Windows, that has
built-in telephone dialer controls?
Or, are you looking for a Telnet (or SSH) terminal program for Microsoft
Windows, to interface with your Linux system via a dialup connection?
If it's just an ANSI terminal you want, you would be better off asking in a
newsgroup relating to Microsoft Windows, or searching on a MSWindows
software site like Tucows.com
If it's a Telnet terminal program, then you already have the answer: use
PuTTY. As for the "dial up" part, install or enable Dial-Up-Networking on
the MSWindows box, and install and configure the PPP server on your
Slackware box. The PPP server should use the device entry associated with
the modem on the Slackware system. With this setup, you get TCP/IP
connectivity, through the telephone line, using a simple PPP connection.
You probably should read the PPP-Howto (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/)
before you start this process.

OK, I didn't see the 'dial into' for what it was :D)
Sorry but that's such a long time I've used windows in an
"open net env." that I really can't remember if the puTTY.exe
has any dial-in extension/cousin :-)
But, wouldn't that question have a better fate in some Windows savvy group?

HEHEHE, thats okay - I thought I'd ask the guru's first :-)

Holly crap!
When did PuTTY get a decent URL? I'm use to Googling for it and the
comments that the author made about the URL.

I'm not 100% positive, but I /think/ PuTTY can be used to communicate
via a COM port.
With a modem, simply use PuTTY as a terminal emulator and issue the AT
commands to the modem.

AFAIKT, No.
Putty (at least up to and including v 0.59) only communicated via TCP. The
documentation for the current version (v 0.60) does not indicate that this
has changed. There are no dialogs that affect COM port settings, and /only/
dialogs and settings for TCP

Putty doesn't talk to COM ports.
As I said before, the OP needs to look for a Microsoft Windows "Serial
Terminal Emulator". If he insists on sticking with PuTTy, he needs to
configure DUN on Windows and PPP on Linux, and use
Putty->TCP/IP->DUN->modem->POTS->modem->PPP->TCP/IP->Linux.

Well! I learn something new every day.
Thanks for the tip; I didn't think that PuTTy could do that (obviously).
And now, the OP has his definitive answer: use PuTTY.

I've used TeraTerm Pro for a number of years.

Glad I'm not the only one that does this! (typical approach when
I'm on a strange computer and want to connect to my Slack box at
home).
I'm also embarrassed to see the version I currently use (0.58) is
well over four years old. :-/

Funny that, I followed the URL and updated too... Didn't notice any
difference. The PuTTY suite is a mature tool, even if the author still
calls it a beta.
