ZOC Terminal is a powerful and effective terminal simulator and Telnet client developed by Markus Schmidt from Germany. It is known for its friendly configuration, excellent user interface design, and many practical features. It can be used to connect to and manage the remote Unix/Linux hosts and shell accounts, BBS, IBM mainframes (via TN3270 or TN5250), or just to connect to the hardware devices hosted on the serial ports of your computer.

As of writing this post (at least 5 months ago), AppNee is officially ready to move to a VPS hosting. But because the server administrator was accustomed to use the popular, simple and friendly inbuilt cPanel web hosting control panel (WHCP) on a shared hosting, at the very start, operating a VPS under the command line (via Linux Terminal) is confusing, very ungainly and inefficient.
