AS/400 internet conection

[Jeffrey Stevens <jstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Art,

The *VERIFY means you need to send a password and profile using the
TN5250E before you can bypass signon.  The password sent may be either 
clear-text or encrypted - that part is up to the Client.  We have
not seen any clients giving the user a switch to select 
clear/encrypted, but if they supported encrypted, I don't know
why they would bother to do clear-text anymore.

All that is encrypted is the password, data is not encrypted.  For that,
you need VPN or SSL.
