Tony, While Doug is 100% correct here, you may not want these users on the local Lan, but rather only on the iSeries system. This can be done by using the built in L2TP support of the iSeries along with a client product such as SoftPK from IRE. (www.ire.com) You would map a port to the iSeries in the FireWall and then use the L2TP server to control connections. Jeffrey M. Silberberg Independent Consultant CompuDesigns, Inc.
