AS/400 Connectivity from Remote Sites






We are evaluating going with a VPN solution rather than our current frame 
solution for connectivity of our remote sites.  The cost is dramatically 
lower (thousands per month!), but the big question is reliability.  We are 

running BPCS versions 4.05 CD, 6.02, 6.04, and 6.1.02.  Three of these 
environments are already centralized onto one AS/400, the remaining two 
will be migrated within the next 6 months.  Note:  the sites would be 
throughout the US plus Toronto CAN and Monterrey MEX.

Is anyone successfully using a VPN solution for remote connectivity while 
utilizing Client Access for green screen?  What were your experiences?
Has anyone tried this and failed - if so, what were the issues that caused 

this solution not to work?

I look forward to your responses - thanks!
