WebTerm Features

WebTerm™ includes Plug-ins, ActiveX controls, and introduces, ThinTerm™. All three components access data 
from any host that supports Telnet sessions over TCP/IP. WebTerm includes such features as custom keyboard remapping, keyboard macros, and local printer support. Accessing thousands of host-based legacy applications, from databases to group schedulers, has never been so easy. WebTerm can be deployed and customized enterprise-wide from one location in mere minutes. Updates, changes and upgrades are now a snap. WebTerm users enjoy features such as automated logins, pre-configured host navigation, and much more!
