Product Description:

MacWise emulates ADDS Viewpoint, Wyse 50, Wyse 60, Wyse 370, Televideo TV 925, DEC VT100 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 or via modem. 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 (as listed below).

What's new in this version:

Fix - Opening function key sets was working OK when double clicking on a fkey set in the Finder. But if you selected "Open Fkeys" from the "Function Key Options" window, you could possibly get a blank fkey set or garbage characters displayed in the function keys at the botom of the screen.
Fix - Changed the default setting for closing the modem port when quitting. The default setting now hangs up the modem when you quit. (an option under the Dialer Menu, "Disconnect Modem Upon Quit").

Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

No ANSI Graphic Support - Version: 11.46, 10/6/2008 01:36PM PST

Like a number of other terminal emulators I have examined recently, MacWise seems to be a very nice program for what it does; however, while it does support ANSI colors, it does not support the extended ASCII character set, i.e., ANSI characters, such as are used on PC-ANSI based BBSes. If you don't understand what I am talking about, just use MacWise and go to an IP address like this one, using port 23: 202.128.20.175. As you will see, the ANSI characters are not displayed properly. Now, use SyncTERM, (available here on VT), and see what happens. Surprise! That is the way it is supposed to look! Thus, for the time being, SnycTERM still remains the king when it comes to old time BBSing. Thanks Deuce! :)

Once I installed this on my iMac, I was able to get ride of my Wyse terminal. Not only do I have more desk space, but being able to use this on my Mac is a godsend. Rich is so responsive to any problems that he clearly stands out in a world where service is no longer a priority for most companies. I have seem other "terminal emulators", but Rich has clearly refined his product over the years to make it the best. My partner has an emulator on his Dell that provides a very small window with no color options. Having a large window with all kinds of customizations is a real plus when you have to use the product for hours on end.

Tried using this to connect to the console port on a raid subsystem. First launch after install gave me a ton of errors. Quit and relaunched; app froze "checking connections". Couldn't force quit from the keyboard, activity viewer, command line...finally had to reboot my server. Luckily this machine is offline and isn't live.
