Windows Compatibility
AbsoluteTelnet and CSTelnet have been tested with great success on Windows 95,
98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista. Due to the high degree of integration with
the Windows Shell (Explorer), it has also been tested extensively
with versions of Explorer from 3 to 7 to ensure compatibility
with the latest versions of Windows and backward compatibility to
even very early versions of Win95.
SSH compatibility
AbsoluteTelnet Contains support for SSH version 1 and SSH version 2 including port forwarding, X11 forwarding, encryption, and compression. An extensive array of authentication types are supported in SSH2, including 'password', 'public-key', 'keyboard-interactive', 'smartcard', and 'GSSAPI' which is used for Kerberos and Active-Directory authentication.
Supported Terminal Types
Terminal types supported by AbsoluteTelnet include xterm, wyse60, vt100, vt220, vt320, vt52, ansi, qnx, ansi-bbs, and scoansi. AbsoluteTelnet's emulations are of the highest quality and are one of the things that separate AbsoluteTelnet from other terminal apps.
International Features
International features have been greatly enhanced in recent versions. The AbsoluteTelnet user interface is available in seven different languages that you can choose from at install time. Languages include English, Chinese (Simplified), Portuguese, French, German, Russian, and Norwegian.
AbsoluteTelnet is fully Unicode enabled and IME aware. It can translate host character sets from UTF8 as well as many know legacy encodings for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and others. Absolute is one of the few terminal applications that correctly handles Unicode characters outside of the BMP required for large character sets like Chinese GB18030. All applications must have GB18030 support before they can legally be sold in China.
Server
Every major server platform seems to do terminal emulation just a bit differently,
each exploiting some subset of the ANSI commands. Terminal clients
that are not validated against many different host systems tend to
lack thorough testing of many emulation features. AbsoluteTelnet and
CSTelnet have been tested extensively against the following platforms,
and should work well against any other system:
- Linux
- Solaris
- AIX
- HPUX
- Pyramid
- AT&T
- DEC
- SGI
- Sequent
- FreeBSD
- VMS
- Cisco IOS
