How does PASSPORT WEB TO HOST differ from IBM Host on Demand?įrom an architectural and feature perspective, two web to host terminal emulation products lead the market: PASSPORT WEB TO HOST from Zephyr and Host on Demand (HOD) from IBM®. Zephyr took this development strategy since the overwhelming majority of terminal emulation runs on a Windows platform. The 32-bit ActiveX solution was designed specifically for Windows and Internet Explorer, which makes the C++ application extremely fast and completely Windows compliant in terms of using Cut, Copy, Paste, Windows short-cut keys, the full PC keyboard, etc. PASSPORT is ideal for use on Windows 2003 server or with Windows XP desktops. All other trade names and marks are the property of their respective owners.Is PASSPORT Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server compliant? Attachmate and EXTRA! are trademarks of Attachmate Corporation. Zephyr, PASSPORT, PASSPORT PC TO HOST and PASSPORT WEB TO HOST are trademarks of Zephyr Development Corporation.
Zephyr headquarters are in Houston, Texas and can be accessed on the web at. Founded in 1985, Zephyr is a member of IBM® PartnerWorld, Microsoft® MSDN, Cisco® EAP, and the IETF. Zephyr offers subscription based licensing that substantially reduces the cost of terminal emulation software. Zephyr Development Corporation is committed to delivering high-quality, affordable TN3270E, TN5250E, and VT100/VT220 terminal emulation software and host access solutions. For more information, please contact Zephyr Customer Support at or 1-80. The Attachmate EXTRA! Macro Conversion Tool is not sold, but is offered as a free service for Zephyr clients with 500 or more licensed units under an annual Subscription License Plan (SLP) or a Priority Maintenance Plan. Hundreds of Attachmate macros can now be collected, converted and delivered to Zephyr clients in a manner of days.
As an example, one large insurance company that migrated from Attachmate to PASSPORT, sent more than 1,000 macros to Zephyr for conversion during the first six months following their PASSPORT purchase. The tool proved most helpful in 2002 when Zephyr migrated a record number of clients from EXTRA! to PASSPORT. The macros can be converted into PASSPORT VBscript macros or standard Visual Basic for more complex macros. To ease the transition from Attachmate EXTRA! to PASSPORT, Zephyr created an Attachmate Macro Conversion Tool that automatically converts the proprietary Attachmate macros, developed using EXTRA! Objects, into standard macros for use with PASSPORT. Given that the macros typically increase the productivity of the user, they represent value for their owner, which can be an obstacle when trying to replace EXTRA! with another emulator or even upgrading to a newer version of EXTRA!. A mid-sized to large Attachmate customer can easily have hundreds of proprietary macros in use throughout their organization.
