KTermEmulator Project Homepage

KTermEmulator is an initiative of the Rijswijk University of Professional Technical Education. (
TH Rijswijk, The Netherlands)

The goal is developing KTermEmulator. This will be an open source Terminal Emulator in Linux. At this moment there are no open source serial VT100 terminal emulators under Linux that are as easy to use as some populair emulators under Windows, like e.g. Hyperterminal and Teraterm. Specifications KTermEmulator:
  • working in X (Linux)
  • easy to use like simular applications under Windows
  • designed for configuration over the serial port of popular network
  • devices
  • open source
  • y x z -modem for down/uploading data


  • To-Do / Goals
    The goal of KTermEmulator is to become a (very) good linux equivalent of the Win32 Hyperterminal.
