Current Version: 5.0.5 / 10.1.1 (June 23, 2008)

Take dataComent, above, and add support for SSH1, SSH2, Kerberos 5, and SCP file transfers, and you've got dataComet-Secure. It's a stupendously good package with no real competition. The download below allows you to try the software out for 30 days; dataComet-Secure is priced at $70 per copy ($35 academic; volume discounts are available). Federal regulations mandated the switch to this pricing scheme for this version.

Version 5.0.5 improves performance when running in the OS X Classic environment and includes several minor bug fixes.

"dataComet-Secure X" is a release of dataComet-Secure built for OS X (Carbon), which adds support for local shell sessions (Terminal sessions), OS X serial devices, and drag and drop in addition to support for Telnet/TN3270, SSH1, SSH2, Kerberos 5, and SCP file transfers.

Version 10.1.1 - the latest release for Mac OS X - adds/changes the following:

• Dramatically improved the screen drawing speed when text antialiasing is in effect. Also fixed a bug where antialiasing was not correctly initialized; if a session had not been opened in which anti-aliasing was NOT in effect, the font for a session with antialiasing would not be imaged correctly, resulting in an ugly appearance.
• Fixed a bug in the SSH Configuration "Keys..." dialog which would cause the application to hang if there was a previously selected Key file which was no longer present.
• Reverted to requiring holding down the Option key to resize the emulator rows/columns size to avoid distorting displays for applications which can't handle resize operations.
