ZOC is a powerful
terminal emulator
which lets you access IBM mainframes via normal or secure (SSL) telnet connections.
(By definition, mainframes are large servers which are mainly used by businesses
for large scale data processing. Mainframes can be used by thousands of users at the same
time, but they need to be accessed through so-called dumb terminals.
IBM 3270 terminals are often used for this purpose, but by using terminal
emulation software you can actually access mainframes from a regular
computer running Windows or Mac OS X.)
Most standard Linux/Unix oriented
telnet clients
can't be used to emulate 3270 terminals.
ZOC however
is different. ZOC lets you access
IBM mainframes via a telnet or SSL connection using the tn3270 and
tn5250 (remote login protocols that make it possible to emulate IBM's two
terminals) emulations, but ZOC also supports a wide scale of emulations used in
the Unix world, like Xterm, Linux, VT220 and others.
The ZOC telnet/SSH client
also includes a number of other useful features. It is highly
configurable and includes the usual terminal features such as keyboard
redefinition and scroll back buffer. It also has some very advanced
and unique features such as a powerful script language and automatic
triggering of actions based on received or typed text. This terminal
emulation software also supports vt102, vt220 and several types of
ansi as well as Wyse, TVI, and Sun's CDE. ZOC also features major
file transfer protocols like X-, Y- and Zmodem as well as Kermit and
others. All these are offered in solid implementations that leave
nothing to be desired
