    What is IVT?
    IVT is a VT220 terminal emulator for Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista/Win 7 and Win 8, that can set up a secure (Kerberized) telnet, SSH, RLOGIN, NetBios or serial connection to a remote host.
    It supports multiple (tabbed) sessions of different types in a single window and has a scripting language to automate standard tasks (such as logging in and creating multiple sessions).
    IVT can do all things that PuTTY can do, and many more things besides!

    If you use a PC to access remote hosts and you care about fast, accurate VT220 terminal emulation with a large tabbed screen, multi-session, color support, fast copy/paste etc. because you use Unix text-mode applications such as VI, EMACS, or Midnight Commander, then IVT is a program designed for you.
    If you want secure authenticated login, you can use SSH or the Kerberos V5 authentication and encryption support built into the commercial version of IVT (available from SoftwareVoordelig webshop).
    Also, it is integrated with Gradient DCE for Windows, and will seamlessly integrate with existing DCE environments using Kerberized Telnet.
    If you administer (or use) a large network with many machines, IVT allows you to initialise your working environment with only a few mouse clicks.
    Logging in to an array of hosts with either Telnet, Kerberized Telnet, SSH or modem, starting programs there, automatically analyzing the output, customising the keyboard and screen (different key-mappings and colors per host and/or session if you want to) is all easily achieved.
    Once you get used to creating sessions with a few clicks and switching between 10, 20 (or even more) parallel sessions without losing track, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it :-)
    I have worked in environments with many hundreds of Unix machines, and IVT is tailored to make life in such environments easier.

    The non-secure versions of IVT are free (as in beer), the SSH/Kerberos versions are commercial. Download here.

    New in version 23.1 of IVT:

  • Bi-directional text support. IVT can now display bi-directional text in various scripts (like arabic).
  • Fix to make IVT run on 64-bit XP.
  • New escape sequences to support resizing from the host.
  • Better sizing of status bar, new window-size field in status.
  • Rewritten serial module, many new options plus better resilience.
  • Rewritten ASCII upload feature.
  • Various sizing and font errors fixed.
  • Many extensions to the script language, numerous bugfixes and minor improvements.
  • More details of previous versions...

    The versions you can download here are a free 30-day evaluation versions for SSH and Kerberos.
    The Telnet and other protocols are unaffected by the licence scheme and entirely free, also for commercial use (no need to ask).
    If you want to use SSH and/or Kerberos after the evaluation period expires, please buy a licence from SoftwareVoordelig.nl.

    The following files and versions of IVT are provided for download (all run on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win7/Win8).
    The "Installer" column refers to files with a full Windows install wizard.
    The "Upgrade kit" refers to ZIP files with all the latest files, which you can use to manually update an existing (modified) configuration.

    The highlighted cell below is for a self-unpacking, self-installing demo version of IVT.
    It is the full version, but requires no administrator priviliges to get IVT up and running.
