In 2004, Yutaka Hirata, a software designer from Japan, restarted development of the open source version of Tera Term. Ayera Technologies did not make their source open, but does provide limited technical support.
In October 2002, Ayera Technologies released TeraTerm Pro 3.1.3 supporting SSH2 and added multiple other features like a built-in web server for API integration with external systems, recurring 'keep-alive' commands, and ODBC database support via the TT Macro Scripting Language. Original development of Tera Term stopped in the late 1990s at version 2.3, but other organizations have created variations. At the time, it was the only freely available terminal emulator to effectively support the Japanese language. The first versions of Tera Term were created by T.
The most popular alternative is PuTTY, which is both free and Open Source.If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked 31 alternatives to Tera Term so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. It also has a built-in macroscripting language (supporting Onigurumaregular expressions) and a few other useful plugins.
It supports telnet, SSH 1 & 2 and serial port connections. It emulates different types of computer terminals, from DEC VT100 to DEC VT382. Tera Term (alternatively TeraTerm) is an open-source, free, software implemented, terminal emulator (communications) program. I had no idea so many people liked Tera Term as much as I did. Subject: Tera Term - Useful Macro (telnet tool) From: 'Rob Webber' Date: Fri, 12:33:30 -0500 Importance: Normal I saw a discussion about Hyperterm and Tera Term a few weeks ago. - CCIE, CCNA, CCNP and other Cisco Certifications.It seems the first minutes putty and teraterm don´t have connection with the serial port. The problem is putty and teraterm take too much time to show me CLI so i can´t see the router start and send a break. I am having problems with putty and teraterm trying to enter in rommon mode.
