 Terminal  Emulation Terminal Server GUI Development Web Integration
 

The Upstanding terminal emulator, FASTerm, runs on a personal computer connected by a local area network to a Unisys A Series/Clearpath host computer.  It emulates the Unisys T27 terminal and its predecessors. FASTerm offers much higher levels of performance than a traditional terminal due to the use of a much faster connection to the A Series host. In addition, FASTerm provides some features, such as a fast file transfer, not otherwise available. FASTerm is available for DOS, 16 and 32 bit Windows Platforms and the Java virtual machine.

FASTerm Mobile
FASTerm Mobile for Palm is a T27 terminal emulator providing access to Unisys ClearPath Plus MCP servers. FASTerm Mobile for Palm is the newest member of the FASTerm family of emulation products used by thousands of users for more than a decade.

FASTerm Mobile supports Wireless, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth networking capabilities and is compatible with third party VPN packages. FASTerm Mobile uses standard TCP/IP and Telnet to establish a connection to the mainframe. Both the Unisys TCP/IP stack and the LANwise TCP/IP stack from Upstanding are supported.

FASTerm supports the full range of terminal escape sequences so full compatibility with ClearPath applications is assured. Screen data entry can come from the soft keyboard, grafitti, or your Palm thumboard if so equipped.

FASTerm supports user assignment of terminal functions, such as transmit, line transmit, etc., to the Palm application and navigation buttons for customized operation. Fonts supported are 80 and 40 column high res fonts, and 40 and 32 column low res fonts, depending on your display capabilities. Two terminal display pages are supported.

FASTerm Mobile for Palm requires Palm OS 3.5 or later. Typical Palm handhelds supported include the PalmOne Tungsten, Zire, and Treo 600 models, SONY Clie models, and many others. To reach your mainframe, your Palm must be equipped with a network communication capability, such as Wi-Fi, Wireless, or Bluetooth.

FASTerm for JAVA
FASTerm for Java is a terminal emulator written in the Java Programming language. FASTerm for Java emulates the Unisys T27 terminal and its predecessors to add Unisys T27 terminal emulation to the World Wide Web and corporate intranets.

"T27 Terminal Emulation for the web."
FASTerm for Java is platform independent. Because it is written in Java, FASTerm for Java can be run on various different platforms and their operating environments, such as PCs, Macintosh and Unix machines, and Network Computers (NCs). In addition, FASTerm for Java promotes "zero administration desktop" initiatives by allowing you to centralize program and configuration files on the A Series, decreasing administration overhead, and increasing security and maintainability. FASTerm for Java can be run in two ways - as an applet or an application. FASTerm for Java

can run as an applet within a Java-capable Web browser or applet viewer, or as an application within an operating environment that provides a Java Virtual Machine. FASTerm for Java can be run as an applet by invoking the FASTerm for Java class file from an apple tag within a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) document or Web page. A web page containing the FASTerm for Java applet can be designed as any Web page would be with graphics, and hyperlinked text or commands such as Unisys A Series system commands or functions.  FASTerm for Java provides terminal emulation in the "virtual machine" created by a Java-capable Web browser or applet viewer when the HTML document referencing FASTerm for Java is loaded. FASTerm for Java can also be run as an application (i.e. outside of a Web browser or applet viewer) by invoking the FASTerm for Java class files on an operating system that supports a Java Virtual Machine, or in conjunction with an operating system add-on that provides a Java Virtual Machine.

The FASTerm for Java terminal emulator is distributed in two forms: a lite version and a standard version. FASTerm for Java Lite provides minimal feature content and is streamlined to load into a browser quickly. The standard FASTerm for Java terminal emulator provides a more feature-rich emulation environment at the expense of a longer load time due to its larger size. Upstanding FASTerm for Java is one of the several components within the LANwise Web Suite

FASTerm for Windows
FASTerm for Windows is a terminal emulation package for users running Microsoft Windows, version 3.1 or later. With FASTerm for Windows, customers can take advantage of Windows features such as scalable type fonts, exchange data through Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) and print through either the standard Windows Print Manager or A Series-oriented printer pass-through.

FASTerm for DOS
The original FASTerm T27 emulator for DOS. This may be used to avoid the expense of upgrading PCs to Windows capable platforms.
