I use tera term on windows to login to our switches (3com and cisco) and i was wondering if i could use osx terminal to login to the switches? and what sytax to use to connect.
 
Tera Term is just a Telnet / SSH client for Windows. MacOSX (and all its Unix-based family) include SSH and Telnet clients built-in. Go into Terminal.app, and type in:

ssh serveraddress

If that fails, try:

telnet serveraddress

SSH is preferable to Telnet because it is more secure, but they are for the most part identical.
