FoxTerm is a simple and easy to use multi-session terminal emulation application. Most applications that monitor and log COM port and Telnet connections force the user to open an application instance for each connection. This can be tedious and results in a cluttered desktop. FoxTerm allows the user to create and open a session that contains multiple connections.

FoxTerm supports loading an XML file that contains session information. When there are many connections, bringing up a session saves the user time over opening connections individually. The FoxTerm application comes with an XML example that contains comments detailing the supported XML elements and attributes.

Starting and stopping logging is easy with the logging dialog that can start and stop logging on one or more connections at the same time. If you save your logs to a share drive, and grep them periodically remotely, you can be assured they are no more than 10 seconds out of date because FoxTerm has an automatic log flush feature that is based on time instead of how many characters have been written.

Both runtime and startup macros are supported. Using the startup macro feature, it is easy to automatically login and connect with remote hosts that require credentials. The runtime macro can be used to continually send a set of commands to the remote host for testing purposes.

4. Open multiple windows in the same session
5. FoxTerm sessions are saved to disk in XML format and are easy to edit
6. Optional keep alive feature prevents remote hosts from killing the connection in Telnet connections.
7. Start/Stop logging across one or more connection windows
8. Periodic log file flushing - ensures when you view your logs remotely they are no more than 10 seconds out of date.
9. Customizable timestamp formatting

3. Improved scripting support
4. File transfer protocols like x-modem and y-modem
