David,

I have been uning TN5250 to my 400 from home for several years.  I am 
using TN5250 for OS/2 using a 33K modem.  As long as I only need a 
single session, I find that I can do everything that I do here in the 
office.

I am not a developer, but I do a lot of transactions.  No printer is a 
problem.  I would say that a 33.6 line to a good ISP would work very 
well.  Make sure you have a good monitor a home.  That is my main 
problem.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Folks:

I'm interested in peoples experiences with Telecommuting for AS400
developers.

Has anyone tried using a VPN via the Internet to folks homes?





Is a 28.8/33.6 dialup connection enough for a developer to be 
effective?  Is an offline source editor necessary?

TIA!
