What's so special about Anzio

There are dozens of Windows telnet programs available commercially or over the Internet. What sets Anzio products and Rasmussen Software, Inc. apart? Here are some favorite features frequently mentioned by our customers:

Secure Shell

Starting with version 15 of Anzio Lite, both Anzio Lite and AnzioWin support secure connections over the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol.

Anzio Lite provides an inexpensive solution for those needing secure communications over a network connection, while AnzioWin meets the more advanced user's needs.

Expanded FTP Support

Beginning in AnzioWin version 15, the FTP support is greatly expanded, including making the host end appear and work similar to a Windows Explorer shell process, allowing the user to open, view, print and download files with a familiar Windows interface.  

Secure Shell FTP Support

AnzioWin version 15, also now supports SFTP, encrypted file transfers over the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.  

Passthrough Print Support

Anzio can handle a wide variety of requirements for passthrough printing (a.k.a. slave printing), where a program running on the host system needs to print on your PC's printer. High-level print lets you select a font and character size. Spooler-level printing bypasses the Windows printer driver for situations where the host program needs to issue control sequences. And in AnzioWin we have Print Wizard, which will automatically fit your reports to the page, generate PDFs and faxes, apply overlays, translate PCL, faxing print job, email of PDF, and more.

Screen Handling

Anzio uses a "clean screen" approach, allowing you to focus on the host system. Line drawing works flawlessly. Change the font size and the window size follows. Change the window size, or maximize it, and the font size follows. And 132-column mode works well also.

Multiple Emulations

The whole world doesn't turn on VT100. Anzio also supports Linux console, ANSI, vt220, vt320, vt420, Wyse 50/60, Viewpoint, C332, Televideo 965, AT386 and SCO ANSI console emulations and more.

International Support

Anzio handles Unicode UTF-8, National Replacement Characters, as well as Cyrillic and other character sets. Anzio handles mixed fonts and international support, at the same time on screen, as well as during printing. The latest versions include support for Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, etc., including combining diacritics and double-wide characters.

PC Scripting

AnzioWin supports Microsoft's Script Control and Script Engine, which allows you to write PC macros to parse screen data and control many aspects of AnzioWin's functions.

Host Scripting

From host programs, such as Perl, C or shell scripts, you can control all of Anzio's functionality, including starting file transfers, changing language character sets, running other PC programs and scripts, etc.

Support

We have real people who answer your questions in a timely and thorough manner! What a concept!
