Description
Glink VT for Android is a terminal emulator for Android tablets, smartphones, barcode scanners, mobile computers and Chrome devices.
Glink VT is used to access applications running on UNIX, Linux and DEC host systems. Glink VT emulates DEC VT100/220/320/340/420 terminals and uses the Telnet or SSH protocol for communication with the host systems.
Glink brings you a high quality and proven emulator on your Android tablets, smartphones, barcode scanners, mobile computers and Chrome 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.
