    ZOC vs Terminal Comments

    Positive comment by ioramsette · Oct 10, 2016

    Fantastic terminal software with many code page emulations including DOS437, internal file transfer protocols such as zmodem, excellent ANSI emulation, perfect to access BBS systems via serial/modem, telnet or ssh! Support powerful REXX scripts and detailed logs.
