Publisher Description
Glink for iOS is a terminal emulator application that runs on iPad, iPhone and Mac's with M1/M2 chip. It is a port of our immensely successful and popular Glink for Windows product that has been chosen by more than 600,000 people world wide for connection to legacy host applications.
Glink is used to access applications running on Bull, IBM, DEC, UNIX and Linux host systems. Glink has emulations for the IBM 3270 and 5250 terminals, Bull Questar DKU7102, DKU7107 and DKU7211 terminals, Bull VIP7800, VIP7760 and VIP7700 terminals, and DEC VT420, VT320/340, VT220 and VT102 terminals. ANSI 3.64 is supported for general communications work.
Glink brings you a high quality and proven emulator for your iPad, iPhone devices and Mac computers with M1/M2 chip.
Glink supports GlinkProxy, a server application designed to provide persistent host connections for Glink clients where the connection from the client device is unreliable. This may be because the device enters sleep mode or goes out of Wi-Fi range.
