MacWise emulates ADDS Viewpoint, Wyse 50, Wyse 60, Wyse 370, Televideo TV 925, DEC VT100 and Prism terminals. Esprit III color is also supported in Wyse 370 mode. MacWise allows a Macintosh to be used as a terminal -- connected to a host computer directly or via modem. The emulators support video attributes such as dim, reverse, underline, 132-column modes, and graphic characters sent from the host computer, as well as enhanced Viewpoint mode. Features include phone list and dialer for Hayes-compatible modems, on-screen programmable function keys and more.
I need to have a reliable app that lets me in to the shell and I can use for terminal emulation with routers, switches and the like. It works! Not a big power user and it does what I need it to.
Cons
I have not had any problems.
Summary
I like it and will keep getting the upgrades.

Obscure and non-mac-like interface. Would stop working at random intervals. Had to Force Quit every time.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Tried using this to connect to the console port on a raid subsystem. First launch after install gave me a ton of errors. Quit and relaunched; app froze "checking connections". Couldn't force quit from the keyboard, activity viewer, command line...finally had to reboot my server. Luckily this machine is offline and isn't live.
Works as advertised

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This has worked like a champ. Connections to my WYSE 50 server at the office have been stable and allowed me to work from home whenever I need to. And the couple of times I've had questions for Rich, I've heard back in minutes.
This is an awesome product!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Sure maybe I could go and buy a terminal for 50.00 but then i wouldn't get such terrific support as rich offers. e-mails get answered in 2 minutes. problems get fixed just as fast. Checkout how many updates this guy has fixed.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A great product no doubt but at $95 it would be cheaper, surely, to go buy a s/h Wyse Terminal? The old addage still applies
