Connect Modern Applications to Older Infrastructure

February 21, 2024
Emulation lets you access legacy systems, interact with specialized equipment, or utilize proprietary protocols without rewriting existing code.

Emulation in internet communications components allows software developers to mimic the behavior of older protocols or systems over modern networks. It helps breathe new life into outdated systems by exposing their functionality through modern interfaces, extending their lifespan and avoiding costly replacements.

Several .NET communications and messaging components offer emulation functionality including:

  • Rebex SSH Shell for .NET lets you execute commands on SSH or telnet servers and add terminal emulation capabilities to your applications.
  • PowerTCP Emulation for .NET by Dart Communications includes comprehensive emulation components with support for VT52, VT100, VT220, and VT320 emulation.
  • SocketTools .NET Edition by Catalyst Development Corp. offers diverse emulation features supporting ANSI and DEC VT terminals, ensuring broad compatibility.
