Wyse 50 Emulation for Mac Terminal

Hi. I know there are a lot of terminal emulation apps out there, even for the mac. But what I'm wondering is this; is there any way I can add Wyse 50 emulation to my macbooks Terminal app? I would really like to not have to download another terminal program for my mac. I find it redundant to have two terminal programs installed on one computer. Let me know what my options are.

Thank you in advance 🙂

Macbook White, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

This has been a work in progress goal of mine as well. I was able to get WYSE 60 emulation going but I have an ongoing problem with time-outs and function keys.

I've only found 2 third-party emulators of WYSE and I've demoed both. They work alright but I feel that none compare to Anzio who's product is windows only. For that reason, I'm using Parallels Desktop to virtualize windows.

Good luck -GDF

Let me get back to you on this because it was a combined effort with my son and he will remember the procedure better than I.

A very good Wyse 50 emulator for Mac is MacWise.
http://www.macwise.com
It also emulates Wyse 60, Wyse 370, Viewpoint, DEC VT100 VT220 and other terminals.
