I have a SPARCstation 20 that runs headless. I would like to connect a 25pin serial<->USB adapter between the USB port on a TiBook and the DB-25 serial port on the back of the SS20, and be able to run some kind of terminal emulator on Mac OS X to interact with the SS20.
Please offer suggestions as to what terminal software I can run, as well as what USB <-> DB-[9,25] serial adapter I can buy that will work with OS X. I see that keyspan has some adapters with OS X drivers...
Thanks for everyones help!

The only thing I can think of is that I am not setting the correct serial port number. I have been trying to figure out how to find out what number should be set, that is, 5331, 5332, 5333, etc. How do I find out the port number? Is there a way to do this using Terminal on OS X maybe?

This is a list of notable terminal emulators. Most used terminal emulators on Linux and Unix-like systems are GNOME Terminal on GNOME and GTK-based environments, Konsole on KDE, and xfce4-terminal on Xfce as well as xterm.

Character-oriented terminal emulators[edit]
Unix-like[edit]
Command-line interface[edit]
- Linux console – implements a large subset of the VT102 and ECMA-48/ISO 6429/ANSI X3.64 escape sequences.
The following terminal emulators run inside of other terminals, utilizing libraries such as Curses and Termcap:
- GNU Screen – Terminal multiplexer with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
- Minicom – text-based modem control and terminal emulation program for Unix-like operating systems
- tmux – Terminal multiplexer with a feature set similar to GNU Screen
Graphical[edit]
X/Wayland[edit]
Terminal emulators used in combination with X Window System and Wayland
- xterm – standard terminal for X11
- GNOME Terminal – default terminal for GNOME with native Wayland support
- guake – drop-down terminal for GNOME
- konsole – default terminal for KDE
- xfce4-terminal – default terminal for Xfce with drop-down support
- mrxvt – rxvt clone with additional features (latest version is 2008-09-10)
- Terminology – enhanced terminal supportive of multimedia and text manipulation for X11 and Linux framebuffer
- Tilda – A drop down terminal
- Yakuake – (Yet Another Kuake), a dropdown terminal for KDE
Apple macOS[edit]
Terminal emulators used on macOS
- Terminal – default macOS terminal
- iTerm2 – open-source terminal specifically for macOS
- xterm – default terminal when X11.app starts
- SyncTERM – includes serial line terminal
- ZTerm – serial line terminal
Apple Classic Mac OS[edit]
Microsoft Windows[edit]
- ConEmu – local terminal window that can host console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash)
- HyperACCESS (commercial) and HyperTerminal (included free with Windows XP and earlier, but not included with Windows Vista and later)
- mintty – Cygwin terminal
- Windows Console – Windows command line terminal
Microsoft MS-DOS[edit]
- Qmodem and Qmodem Pro
IBM OS/2[edit]
- ZOC – discontinued support for OS/2
Commodore Amiga[edit]
Commodore 64[edit]
Block-oriented terminal emulators[edit]
Emulators for block-oriented terminals, primarily IBM 3270, but also IBM 5250 and other non-IBM terminals.
Coax/Twinax connected[edit]
These terminal emulators are used to replace terminals attached to a host or terminal controller via a coaxial cable (coax) or twinaxial cabling (twinax). They require that the computer on which they run have a hardware adapter to support such an attachment.
- RUMBA 3270 and 5250
tn3270/tn5250[edit]
These terminal emulators connect to a host using the tn3270 or tn5250 protocols, which run over a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection.
- x3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for X11 and most Unix-like systems[1]
- c3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for running inside a vt100/curses emulator for most Unix-like systems[1]
