terminal emulation for connection to IBM Mainframe systems, and ASCII terminal
emulation for connection to RS/6000, DEC, HP and other ASCII host computers. In
addition, HostConnect supports the TN5250E and TN3270E protocols, giving you access
to advanced features such as device-name selection, sign-on bypass and printing.
Host sessions can be configured to start automatically each time eTerm is started or you
