• Zterm For Windows 10

A new beta version (1.1b4) of the ZTerm Mac modem tool is now Mac OS X compatible.

Only for the Mac, there are two versions of this software. The standard version provides all the basic OBD functions, while Movi Pro adds more bells and whistles. If you just want to try it out, the download will operate in demo mode. OBD Auto Doctor OBD Auto Doctor is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. ZTerm is a terminal emulation program for the Macintosh. In its day, many people used it to connect to Bulletin Board Systems and download files. Now we have the Internet. ZTerm is still a useful utility for those systems that offer only dial-up connections and for connecting to devices through a serial port, as do many routers.

ZTerm is a long-time terminal emulation program that folks have used to connect to Bulletin Board Systems and download files. Though the Internet has stolen most of the BBS thunder, ZTerm is still a useful utility for those systems that only offer dialup connections and for connecting to devices through a serial port, like many routers, according to its author, Dave Alverson. For newer Macs that don’t have a normal serial port, ZTerm can talk to ports on USB to serial adapters, through the appropriate driver software supplied with the adapter.

When ZTerm 1.1 is finished, there’ll be separate versions for Mac OS 8/9 and Mac OS X. The former won’t use CarbonLib so it should work on older Macs. The latter will get its list of serial ports from IORegistry. ZTerm 1.1 will support the Mac operating systems’ Appearance Manager and Navigation services.
