Glink is used to access applications running on IBM, AIX, UNIX, Linux and Bull host systems. Glink has terminal emulation for the IBM 3270 and 5250 terminals, Bull Questar DKU7102, DKU7107 and DKU7211 terminals, Bull VIP7800, VIP7760 and VIP7700 terminals, and DEC VT420, VT320/340, VT220, VT102, VT100 and ANSI 3.64 terminals.
Glink brings you a high quality and proven emulator for your Android Tablets and Smartphone devices.
Glink supports GlinkProxy, a server application designed to provide persistent host connections for Glink clients where the connection from the client device is unreliable. This may be because the device enters sleep mode or goes out of Wi-Fi range.
