Re: AS/400 Access via the Internet

Chuck,

We use the Internet to connect to AS/400s all the time, even with dial-up
56k modems. We use Mochasoft's TN5250 product from http://www.mochasoft.dk/
and use a socket redirect program named Socket Sidewinder. Socket
Sidewinder runs on an Internet/Intranet attached Windows machine to
redirect the connection to the AS/400. Doing so keeps the AS/400 from be
directly placed on the Internet.

I wrote Socket Sidewinder myself and others on this list have been given a
copy already. If you want a copy, Email me or call me directly.

Hi Folks,

We are looking at different ways to access our AS/400 so Sales folks can
get needed info. Currently we have a communications server running
Synapse software that they dial into.

We are getting complaints about slow response and I know that this being
caused by old lines, phone switches, etc. in the areas some of these
folks live in.

Question was asked if it might be faster via the internet (they are
looking at cable and DSL at home) and I'm not sure.

Any ideas on this ?

Thanks !

Chuck
