Re: AS400 Access from Internet

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We re using VPN to access our internal network over the internet, however
the VPN server in our case sits on an NT box.  With all the security
problems with NT lately, there may be better ways of doing it.

|the v4r3 version of the firewall package has the option to use virtual
|private networks. i cannot delve too far into this, as we are not currently
|using it, but as far as i understand, it would allow you to set up secure
|connections via the internet using ip tunneling. once the connection has
|been made, all communications from point to point are encrypted, and quite
|secure.

|we currently have a v4r3 firewall running, and i would like to see if we

|'frivolous' things. 8^)
|
|feel free to ask any questions, i will answer what i can!

|Company just received their 9406/170 and is interested in connecting to
|the Internet.  What they want is their remote employees to loggon the
|Internet and access the AS400 from there.  That way they don't have to
|fuss with dial-up lines or accessing from clients' sites.
|I have not found much of anything that I could determine would be
|useful.  If anyone could shine some light on the situation/references, I
|would greatly appreciate it.
|Thank You.
