Quite a a variety in the title but I thought this would be an interesting topic as quite a few of us have used these over the years. Basically a show and tell of the items in the topic heading. Any system mainframe to desktop. Hardware and software. And I suggest a cut off date of 2000 for this particular topic for the hardware and software.. Some one else can create a thread for the newer stuff if they like.
Terminal emulators I've are are Banana.com (bcom) for Dos. GeoComm for GeoWorks. The default Win 3.1 and the one provided in PSF WinWorks 2.0
I've only used one thin client and that was an Acer W-300 with Cyrix 200m chip. It was my main daily work station for 3 years before the company when P4 desktops with XP Pro on them. It's sitting right next to me.
Never used a stand alone terminal at all.
Serial/ parrallel file transfer. Good ol interlink/interserv. GeoWorks 2.x came with a serial file transfer program via null modem cable. Basicly one Geos box was set up to receive and the other to send. Terminal Emulators had various file transfer protocol built in. There's also parallel port file transfer program using what is now commonly called a Laplink cable.
And comms of cause can be via serial using a dail up modem or via null-modem cable between systems. Both using a Terminal Emulator.
I'll add some pics tomorrow as it's 01:13hrs. Insomnia is a bitch....
Let us hear see what you've used in the past. Looking foward to it.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
