RE: want to allow easy home access to iSeries

Thanks for the input david. We do have a VPN and I can use client
access and the VPN to get on from home.

We have a handful of distributors that need to get on to do forecasting
and don't have any network credentials so a VPN isn't something
management wants to set up for them.

It's hard to tell from the Mochasoft advocates whether they're using a
VPN or opening up port 23.

All you should need to do is open port 23 to the IBM i.

Although I would recommend you *NOT* open port 23 but use a VPN instead.
