Virtual terminal

Virtual terminal

In open systems, a virtual terminal (VT) is an application service that:
# Allows host terminals on a multi-user network to interact with other hosts regardless of terminal type and characteristics,
# Allows remote log-on by local area network managers for the purpose of management,
# Allows users to access information from another host processor for transaction processing,
# Serves as a backup facility.

ITU-T defines a virtual terminal protocol based on the OSI application layer protocols. However, the virtual terminal protocol is not widely used on the Internet.
