Reflection for IBM is terminal emulation software that connects Windows^® users to applications on IBM mainframe and AS/400 systems. But Reflection does more than make your host connections. It also provides an advanced set of administrative, security, and customization capabilities—all designed to cut the complexity of desktop management.
