MacWise emulates ADDS Viewpoint, Wyse 50, Wyse 60, Wyse 370, Televideo TV 925, DEC VT100, VT220 and Prism terminals. Esprit III color is also supported in Wyse 370 mode. MacWise allows a Macintosh to be used as a terminal -- connected to a host computer directly, by modem, or over the Internet. The emulators support video attributes such as dim, reverse, underline, 132-column modes, and graphic characters sent from the host computer, as well as enhanced Viewpoint mode. Features include phone list and dialer for Hayes-compatible modems, on-screen programmable function keys and more.
What's New
Version 12.4.8:
Fix - "Unable to open!RECORDERft.txt" error message during data transfers from host to the Mac.
Please fix MacWise to work for sending a break to Sun Microsystem Unix servers. This does work with Zterm. See the dev's notes.
-- OSX Notes --
Sending Break under OSX:
In 1.1b5 I have implemented the send break function. However, it appears some serial drivers do not implement the necessary control function for this to work. I have a workaround which might work. If you need the send break functionality, try it and see if the driver handles it correctly. If not, quit ZTerm, open up Terminal.app and type the command:
Once this is set, instead of calling tcsendbreak, ZTerm will set the baud rate to the breakSim value, send a NUL, then restore the baud rate. The NUL at a lower speed should look like a break. The lowest value to use would be 50, which should cause a break signal of about 200 ms. I don't know what different drivers do with "non-standard" baud rates, so its probably best to use standard baud rate values.
