About:
Wy60 is a terminal emulator that emulates the Wyse 60 terminal, a popular block-mode terminal from the 1980s. It enables modern systems to connect to legacy mainframes and minicomputers that require this specific terminal protocol. The tool provides a bridge for accessing and maintaining vintage computing systems from contemporary Unix-like environments.

Key Features:

Wyse 60 terminal emulation
Block-mode data entry support
Legacy system connectivity
Serial and network connection options

Use Cases:

Connecting to legacy mainframe systems from modern workstations
Maintaining vintage computing infrastructure
Accessing industrial equipment with Wyse 60 terminal interfaces

Alternatives:

minicom – General purpose terminal emulator with broader protocol support but less specific Wyse 60 focus
x3270 – IBM 3270 terminal emulator, specialized for mainframes but incompatible with Wyse protocols
