About ZOC Terminal

ZOC Terminal is a terminal client aimed at system administrators, network engineers and IT staff who connect to servers, network devices and legacy systems. It supports SSH, Telnet and serial connections and emulates many terminal types, including xterm, VT420 and TN3270.

Sessions open in tabs with thumbnails, and an address book stores hosts in folders with colour coding. A scripting language with more than 200 commands automates logins and routine tasks. It ships as native Win32 and macOS binaries for Intel and Apple silicon, with deployment and configuration options for administrators.
