Does a lot of things. But not very well. If you want a terminal simulator as a small feature as part of a bigger program, try VS Code.

cweijan.vscode-ssh was the best ssh client for VS Code, and it has become payware.

4.6.0 2022-2-16 was the last free version, and it has been purged from the Github repository (and version picker inside VS Code).
