Most of the folks I know are going to any lengths to avoid putting MS in the
middle. Think about it. Do you want a critical link in your access to
spontaneouly crash multiple times a day?

 We're looking for a secure way to permit our users to gain 
 interactive access to our AS/400 via the Internet.  
 
 After reading the promotional material for Microsoft's SNA Server, it 
 appears to be a viable solution:
 
 Client <------Internet------>NT Server 4.0<-----LAN------>AS/400  
                    (TCP/IP)               &                     (SNA)         
                                            SNA Server 3.0
 
 Anybody doing this?
 
 Any gothcas?
 
 What kind of encrytion is occurring between the client and the SNA 
 Server?  PPTP?
 
 Any other alternative solutions?
 
 Thanks.
