RE: VPN as AS/400 data line

This is interesting to me.  If I put a VPN in front of my As/400, then give my 
employees the VPN client, we'll all have the same
access as we do now, plus we'll see each others PC's just like when we are all 
in the office.

Problem is, how does my Iseries FTP and TELNET, etc, to other internet hosts 
that are not VPN?
