Yes and no... the firewall is accepting traffic w/o a problem... but the
TN5250 client's (CA & Synapse) isn't connecting properly.  Other TN5250
clients are working fine.  

The firewall software, Firewall-1, firsts asks for userid & password before
allowing access to the host system.  That's where the TN5250 clients are
having problems.
