About the ZOC Terminal Emulator
|
|
ZOC is a professional, modern and well-established
terminal emulator
and telnet client and it
is known for its configurability and outstanding user interface.
The purpose of the program is to let you access character based hosts using
Secure Shell (SSH),
telnet,
ISDN, RS232/serial
and most other means of communication. It can be used to connect to Unix/Linux
hosts and shell accounts, BBS's, IBM mainframes (via
TN3270 or
TN5250), internet muds or devices
attached to the serial port of your computer.
ZOC features tabbed sessions and extensive functions like a typed command history,
scrollback, multiple window support and others. This makes it the ideal tool for
people who repeatedly need to access text based shell accounts from a Windows or Mac OS X platform.
With ZOC's support for the Linux (Xterm) emulation, complete with 256 color support,
meta-keys and local printing, Linux admins will feel as though they are
sitting at their native consoles. Also, if you are working with the Cisco CLI this
is your tool.
ZOC also supports
Xterm,
vt220
and several types of ansi as well as
Wyse,
TVI (Televideo),
3270,
and Sun's CDE. ZOC also utilises all main file
transfer protocols, including X-, Y- and Zmodem as well as Kermit
and many others. All of which are offered in a flexible and intuitive interface
that leaves absolutely nothing to be desired.
ZOC is also highly configurable. As well as the standard terminal
features such as keyboard redefinition and scroll back buffer it also offers
some more advanced and unique features including a powerful scripting
language, and automatic triggering of actions based on received or typed
text or a line trace feature.
