Using the latest techniques in software development our products run on UNIX workstations by HP, DEC, IBM, Silicon Graphics, Sun, NeXT and even Intel 486 with X11 or NeXTStep. All terminal emulators are fully integrated in their respective window systems. The advantages are striking: - All control and status indicators of the original terminal can be set in parameter windows. - "Cut and paste" is possible between emulator windows and others. - Context sensitive help for all keys and parameters is fully provided. Printer output as well as screen hardcopies are converted to ASCII or PostScript and can be routed to a printer, spooler or data file. All functions of the terminal keyboard are implemented in the keyboard of your workstation or are displayed as buttons around the terminal windows. All keyboards can be individually configured with an interactive mapper utility. A graphic representation of an original terminal keyboard can be displayed on the screen and used with the mouse. Up to 12 macros can be separately defined for each terminal window. An unlimited number of simultaneous terminal session on a single workstation is possible. WE-UTS ====== The WE-UTS product line allows the integration of mainframe applications written for U100, U200, UTS 400, UTS 40, UTS 60 color graphics (WE-UTS only) and SVT UNISYS terminals into a workstation environment. The WE-COMD communication protocol server is installed on a UNIX processor which may perform as a protocol server for the entire network. WE-UTSc is a complete character only terminal emulation while WE-UTSg terminal emulator additionally supports graphics. The gateway may be shared by any number of workstations each running any number of WE-UTS terminal windows. The terminal emulators isolates the communication protocol support to their respective gateways and spares the workstation from additional overhead caused by DCA Ethernet (DCP), TPO Ethernet (HLC), UDLC or X.25 protocols. The processes of the emulator talk to the gateway using TCP/IP which provides flexible and high-performance distribution of the WE-UTS terminal sessions. WE-D320 ======= The WE-D320 terminal emulator supports applications written for DEC VT100, VT200 and VT320 terminal families without modifying the existing software on the mainframe. The resizable emulation window can be surrounded by buttons. Functions and labels are entirely definable. WE-D320 is used as a front end to communication protocols provided by every workstation. Any process (such as shell, rlogin, tip , pad etc.) can be started to connect to an application requiring a VT320 terminal. It uses standard communication facilities such as TCP/IP, asynchronous serial ports or X.25 PAD. WE-I3179 ======== The WE-I3179 product line allows workstations to communicate to IBM mainframes over TCP/IP Ethernet links (TELNET connections), SDLC or X.25 public or private networks. WE-I3179 consists of the communication protocol server WE-COMD and the actual terminal emulator. While WE-I3179g does support graphics WE-I3179c represents the complete character only terminal emulator. The WE-COMD gateway installs a UNIX process that can be used as a protocol server for the entire network. The gateway may be shared by any number of workstations each running any number of WE-I3179 terminal windows. PRICES ====== The prices are dependent on the product and the number of simultaneously allowed sessions on a workstation. Note there is also floating license available for TCP/IP-networks. Please request detail price information. For evaluation purposes workstation ag provides a demo package for US$99. The package includes: - complete product running in demo mode (time and data transfer limit). - complete installation and software documentation. - the product will turn into a fully functional software by entering a valid license. - shipping cost. ABOUT workstation ag ==================== workstation ag is a privately held company based in Glattbrugg (Switzerland) with branch offices in Montreux (Switzerland) and Adolzfurt (Stuttgart, Germany). Founded in 1989, the company acts as an universal system integrator on unix workstation market. workstation ag offers a complete range of services for customers: hardware and software sales, consultancies, software development, training and support. One of the most successful business areas has been the development and introduction of technically high level products such as the terminal emulator family, project management tool, document imaging and archiving systems.
