Edit: I meant term-mode (M-x term), not terminal-mode (M-x terminal-emulator). No idea why there are two different terminal emulators in Emacs, but 'M-x term' seems the better of the two, or at least the keybindings make more sense to me.

There is also 'M-x serial-term' should you ever need it.

There are M-x shell and M-x eshell to run shells within emacs.

See http://www.masteringemacs.org/articles/2010/11/01/running-sh... for comparison.

Yes. My original comment (the grandparent to your comment) attempted to explain why I prefer term-mode over shell-mode.
