WND Terminal supports IBM Z (3270), IBM i (5250), UNIX/Linux (VT), Unisys (T27 and UTS), HP 3000 (HP terminal models), HPE NonStop (6530) and airline ALC sessions. Native Windows, Mac and Linux apps include the released profiles; the browser gateway covers supported IBM and VT profiles. See every terminal model.
Yes. The native Mac app runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (macOS 11 or later) and includes the released IBM, UNIX, Unisys, HP 3000, NonStop and airline terminal profiles. MacBook-friendly combinations cover host keys such as Field Exit, Roll Up and Attention.
Yes, for supported IBM 3270, IBM i 5250 and VT profiles. Your IT team runs the WND Terminal gateway on your own server; people open it in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and sign in with your identity provider. One person counts as one seat whether they use the browser, the desktop app or both. Check your terminal model.
No. WND Terminal uses the standard TN3270E and TN5250 protocols your hosts already serve. Modern view, Fill from Excel and Capture all pages all work on the screens you have today.
Run the Migration readiness report on the folder that holds your existing session, keyboard and macro files. It sorts every file into “imports cleanly,” “imports with small notes” or “needs a person,” removes duplicates, converts PCOMM macros where it can, and writes a policy ready to deploy through Group Policy, Intune or a Mac configuration profile.
Yes. WND Terminal runs Extra! Basic, Reflection Basic and VBA, HostExplorer Basic and PowerTerm PSL macros in its own engine, and lists any line it can’t run with its line number. Programs that use EHLLAPI or the Extra!, PCOMM and Reflection COM objects keep working too.
Customer sessions connect directly from the PC or your gateway to your hosts. License checks are local, and usage and audit output goes to your storage or SIEM. AI uses the model endpoint IT chooses, which can be local, inside your network or a configured external provider. The public sample demo uses fictional data; its current terminal and code reference run locally without an AI request.
Ask WND is read-only by default: before any key reaches the host, WND Terminal checks whether it could change data and refuses if so. IT can switch it to ask the person first, or turn the AI off entirely. Sensitive values are masked before anything goes to the model, and password fields are never read or typed into.
It depends on the size of the estate. Union Pacific moved 7,800 users in eight weeks; Fifth Third moved about 7,000 PCs in 11 weeks; The Home Depot moved its Mac users in five weeks and Windows users in nine. Every switch starts with a free two-to-four-week proof of value on your own systems.
