RE: IIS to as/400 odbc

Anything that doesn't have a published industry-standard syntax, Phil.  It
could be something as simple as sending SQL requests to a listener on a
onon-standard port, but I personally prefer to use a message-based design
where I have designed the protocol and nobody on the outside is likely to be
able to hack it.  One example is remote data queues, where an iSeries inside
the firewall reads data queues on another iSeries outside the firewall,
using SNA.
