Re: AS400 Access from Internet

     The AS/400 also ships with TCP/IP connectivity allowing clients to 
     attach using a TN5250 or TN5250E emulator over any TCP/IP connection, 
     including the internet.    
     
     TN5250 provides and excellent display emulation that is essentially 
     identical to using a terminal.  Several of the 5250 emulation products 
     can be distributed, configured, and launched from a web link, but 
     reside on the remote PC as a windows program and provide  true green 
     screen emulation.  JAVA and Active-X emulation products also exist but 
     may have platform or performance limitations.
     
     TN5250E, which several vendors are shipping (the standard is in draft 
     form with the IETF) allows printing to a 3812 or 5553 printer, user 
     authentication, DES Encryption, and device creation over the TN 
     connection.
