Anyone know any cheap or free SCO ANSI Terminal emulation programs?
Lockedby slayer_ · about 12 years, 6 months ago
Our current terminal emulator doesn’t work for 64bit Windows and the company that built our current solution went belly up in 2000 so no updates. So we need a new one. Free or cheap per seat for about 500+ seats (we expect this number to reach 1000 in the next 2 years).
Anyone know of any?

We have this licensed for thousands of clients, and it better and faster than the expensive commercial product that we used to use.

You can try it for free.

Though its a tad expensive, 500 seats is $83,000. That’s a bit much…
Or I am looking at this wrong… -

Trust me for 500 users you can get it much cheaper than the 10 pack price.
For 500 users, you might want to consider their Server version. You can also get an Enterprise license.

FacetWin is what we use and it works just fine for SCO ANSI on Unix. (SCO 5.0.6) Commercial but cheap enough, and has all the F keys.

cheap or free

free = putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). no frills, but works.
cheap = anzio-lite (at 500 seats, goes for $19 each, at 1000, its $17 per) – http://www.anzio.com/product/anzio-lite
better = anzio-win (at 500 seats, goes for $32 each, at 1000 its $26 per) –
http://www.anzio.com/product/anziowin
anzio-win adds cool scripting and printing stuff – see http://www.anzio.com/content/anzio-lite-and-anziowin-differences for differences.
I am not associated with any of the above.-

ANSI should be ANSI, but isn’t mentioned much in the docs, and PuTTY does Unix. All I could suggest is to try it. It’s free.

We will probably be selecting a product in a few weeks.
Till then, I don’t know who to pick as the chosen answer (I miss thumbs) -

Attachmate is pretty good. Probably a smart choice on their part, especially if your average office person is going to be using it.

We used to use Reflections, resold it to our clients. Dumped it in favour of Bluezone, and after 4 years, we have fewer issues.
