Is there a Linux Program like "Procom Plus"?


I am looking for an advanced Terminal Emulator that comes close or equal to "Procom Plus" for Windows.

Certainly something far better then Minicom

Any ideas or suggestions?

Googling something like 'terminal emulation linux' ought to turn up lots of stuff. I would imagine that's a pretty common need.

Well so far the search has been very disappointing.
The only one found that comes close or equal to what Procom Plus used to provide is one called "Power Term" which is a commercial Software and of course has to be purchased.

These are the futures I would expect a good Terminal Program to have:
IBM 3270
IBM 5250
IBM 3151
VT 52–525
BBS-ANSI
SCO-ANSI
AT386
Linux
AIX Term
Wyse 50/50+/60/370
Televideo TVI 910+/920
Televideo TVI 925/950-955
Data General
ADDS VP A2
HZ 1500
Siemens
HP 700/96
HP 700/92
Tandem 6530

Modem, serial, Ethernet access.
Change protocol and speed on the fly
Have it's own scripting Language to automate task
Program special Function Keys separately to be used with per Session and can be recalled.
Take screen shots and record sessions
Print straight to Printer
etc.

In the commercial world the Serial Port is still the most used Interface to communicate and download updated Software configs and Firmware upgrades.

So far I have found no free Software in Linux that comes even remotely close to this.
So....the question stands as in the original post.
