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. Its still a useful utility for those systems that only offer dialup connections and for connecting to devices through a serial port, like many routers. 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.

Here it is almost 4 years since the last review; well, sure the Internet, except for a few exotic functions, has replaced terminal programs, but I predict a resurgence of modems and terminal emulation, once the U.S. Defense Dept. and the corporatocracy implement pending plans that will limit the privacy, scope of and increase the relative cost/benefit of the Internet. As people search for options, it is likely that there will be a resurgence of FidoNet and like alternatives.

ZTerm works fine with OS 10.4.5, even to an external USB modem. I'd say it is at least something to keep around (along with a decent modem), you never know when you may need to use it.
