Terminal Emulation Software

[Aspec]

I'm looking for a program similar to Van Dyke's CRT which will allow me to access a remote system via telnet but allows me to load a Keymap file for that session.

Does anyone know of an application like this? Either commercial or GNU?


Thanks

Well, there are tons of GNU terminal emulators that you can use, especially since you have to compile them from source (just install the Developer Tools that come with your OS X installation discs). I've done this with centericq and it works fine.

As for native OS X applications, you can use something like ZTerm.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at ZTerm but I don't see where you can load a keymap file for a specific session.

I'll have to tinker around with the developer tools.

You might also want to check out Pure Mac for some other term-emu apps.

There are two options that ship with every copy of MacOS X--the Terminal and Xterm (as part of your X11 installation).

A free opensource alternative is iTerm.

MacWise is not free, but there is no better terminal emulator available for MacOS 9 or MacOS X.

I guess I must have misunderstood. When I hear "terminal emulation", I think something like tn3270 emulation like ZTerm, minicom, or seyon...not so much the command shell window that's called "Terminal" in OS X.
