Terminal Software

When main frame computers first came out, desktop computers of today did not exist so terminal computers were created to help clients connect to the server so clients could run programs on the server from remote locations. New servers today have many types of connections which included, IMAP, email clients like Netscape Messenger and Outlook Express, as well as web interfaces, and still terminal connections. The terminal software of today allows clients to connect to a server and change passwords, read e-mail, or use server programs through a text based window interface which the program QVT/term provides.
