What is a Terminal Emulation?
A1. Traditionally, dumb terminals have been used to access applications running on mainframe host systems. There are many different types of hardware terminals. These terminals adhere to well-defined protocols, which define their type. They implement commands for presentation and input of data. Terminal Emulation is the term used to emulate such terminals on a PC or handheld device using a software application. Our products support emulation of 5250, 3270, VT100 and VT220 terminals.
