PASSPORT Windows Terminal Emulation: Free Trial Download

Zephyr's PASSPORT terminal emulation product suite has been tested and is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows XP. PASSPORT provides access to IBM zSeries (3270), IBM iSeries (5250) and UNIX® (Telnet) host systems.

Organizations that use Windows XP and need to upgrade their existing terminal emulation should consider PASSPORT PC TO HOST® or PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® as a potential replacement, especially since the PASSPORT subscription licensing program can significantly lower the cost and maintenance associated with host access.

Benefits of Windows XP

Windows XP contains major security improvements designed to provide better protection against hackers, viruses, and worms. Windows XP also improves the manageability of the security features in Windows XP and provides more and better information to help users make decisions that may potentially affect their security and privacy. These enhancements include: protect your PC from harmful attachments, avoid potentially unsafe downloads, reduce annoying pop-ups, improve your privacy when you're on the Web, firewall protection from startup to shutdown, and many more.

• Protect your PC from harmful attachments - By alerting you to potentially unsafe attachments, Windows XP Service Pack 2 helps guard your computer from viruses that can spread through Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and others.
  
• Avoid potentially unsafe downloads- The new Internet Explorer Information Bar and Internet Explorer download monitoring warn you about potentially unsafe downloads and give you the opportunity to block files that could be malicious.

• Reduce annoying pop-ups - The new Internet Explorer Pop-Up Blocker makes surfing the Internet more enjoyable by helping you reduce the unwanted ads and content that pop up when you're on the Web.
  
• Improve your privacy when you're on the Web - Helps protect your private information by applying the security settings that guard your PC to the files and content downloaded using Internet Explorer.
  
• Firewall protection- The powerful, built-in Windows Firewall is now turned on by default. This protects Windows XP against viruses and worms that can spread over the Internet.

Save Money with PASSPORT

PASSPORT is also extremely cost effective. Zephyr provides a subscription based licensing program that reduces your acquisition cost and maintenance cost significantly. This makes upgrading from older terminal emulation a very attractive proposition.

As one of the market's very first IP-based connectivity solutions, the mature, feature-rich package is an ideal replacement for older desktop-based terminal emulators. With its competitive pricing and licensing options, you can save 50% to 75% on the amount of money you would normally spend for terminal emulation software.

PASSPORT Windows XP Terminal Emulation Options

There are actually two versions of the PASSPORT terminal emulation software. Each product uses a different method of deployment.

PASSPORT PC TO HOST® is a desktop-based terminal emulation suite. This product is similar to other desktop Windows programs. PASSPORT is installed with a Windows setup program. It can also be deployed using SMS, MSI, Citrix or Microsoft Terminal Server.

PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® is a web-based terminal emulation suite that features an ActiveX client that is deployed from a web server. The terminal emulation software is installed on a web server and provides an administrator program for centralized configuration and administration. All software and configuration files reside on the web server. When the terminal emulation software is run, an ActiveX applet is downloaded from the web server to the client desktop and run inside Internet Explorer. The ActiveX 3270 terminal emulation running inside Internet Explorer makes a direct VT/100, TN3270, 5250, SCO ANSI or FTP connection to the host system.

Quicktrial or Download

There are two ways to evaluate the PASSPORT Windows terminal emulation: either download a copy of the software or do a QuickTrial of the PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® application. With QuickTrial, there is no server installation, you simply download the client from our web server. This is a fast and easy way to look at the PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® software. For those that want to install the PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® software on their own web server, you can download the full working copy of the software and complete a full evaluation.
