Looking for info on terminal emulators for ClearPath system.

I am trying to put together a list (with price if anyone has that) for possible purchase.

Thank you in advance.

Life is good.
I hope that retirement is treating you well.

I did come across t27 eXpress in my google searches.
I've been surprised that there are more choices than I anticpated, but we'll see if LeMans will part with any $$$ when we have a working free alternative.

Take care of yourself.

Gregory's ClearPath A Series Terminal Tool (C.A.T.T.) is a good one. It can be found at http://www.mgsinc.com/

I agree with Matt that CATT is good. Reasonably featured, reasonably priced.

I have no experience with t27 eXpress, but it's been around for a while.

I have been using InfoConnect for years. Attachmate is now part of
MicroFocus. https://www.microfocus.com/products/infoconnect/unisys/.
I believe that some versions of Attachmate Reflection (also now in
MicroFocus) also support MCP systems. These are enterprise-class
products -- fully-featured, with pricing to match.

There is a Java-based emulator, WebEnabler, that is bundled with the
MCP. It's basic, but works fine. It does not connect over Telnet, but
goes in over a plain TCP/IP port through CCF to COMS. I think most of
the other emulators also now support that pathway.

Core Technology used to be a significant player in MCP terminal
emulation, but I don't hear about them anymore. From their web site,
though, they still market at least a Java-based version of CTCBridge:
