Gerald, as has been pointed out by Tom, PSC/400 is definitely an option for
the web-enabling portion of your objective.  PSC/400 web-enables your
existing systems (literally overnight), and provides both a green screen
emulation mode and a customized web application mode.

I have a client currently running with VPN connections from Asia to a local
machine in the Chicago area.  With this connection, they then access a
web-based Intranet application.  This client is using the green screen
emulation mode of the PSC/400, which almost exactly mimics the browser:

The web application mode can then be used to highly customize your
applications and make give them a "written for the web" appearance, as one
of my other clients is doing.  If you would like more information about
PSC/400, please contact me directly.
