I've been looking for a Terminal Emulator similar to KoalaTerm for interacting with a proprietary media booking system. I've tried different "terminal programs" like Terminal, iTerm, etc but nothing works.
Pretty sure it uses telnet to connect with the server but it never looks right, and doesn't function as expected. The only Mac in a Windows office I have to keep a PC close at hand to use KoalaTerm.
The problem is not the term it is getting it to work like Facet Win. Facet win emulates a dummie terminal. that is what the PC users in the office use to get in to the accounting system.
None of those worked for me. Grr, wish I understood this stuff. Its on a Windows box running through a telnet port. On every terminal emulator I've tried its been text gibberish. I'm able to see some words but it doesn't look anything like the screen in KoalaTerm.
I noticed that Slashdot recently had a discussion on the topic of Terminal emulators for OSX. A lot of good suggestions from people who have had trouble with trying to get certain emulations to work. You should check it out, see if anything helps.
There's some guy who talks about how certain emulations need a font with characters in the right order, and if you don't have that you get gibberish. He posted a link to an old Mac font set that did the trick for him.

Yeah, I tried the font but it didn't work. Nothing could see the font, no applications so I couldn't select it to try. Tried all the emulators I could, but I do need an IBM character set plus VT 420 (IIRC) emulator to connect to the Windows server (running old DOS software).

Um, maybe you should try /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app first?

Can you make it work like this?

File -> Connect To Server is what you're looking for.
