Best Emulator for T24 Classic

As a developer I went through and tried many emulator software's for using T24 Classic. Below were the best ones.

The things considered for evaluation are:
  • Multi-Tab Interface : Which will be very helpful when you have to work on multiple environments and multiple sessions
  • Auto Login for SSH and Telnet : Remembering username & passwords is very hard and also can't save in excel or notepad for security reasons. So storing & maintaining login details at the emulator is very efficient and time saving.
  • Key code mapping & modifications: Developers like to map F1, F2 ..F5 keys to Ctrl+U <Enter> etc, for easier & faster usage of T24 Classic
  • Font Customization: Change Font color of Text.
