RE: AS400 connectivity VIA the WEB.... -- MIDRANGE-L

I downloaded Sidewinder but haven't had time to try
it.  Must you use mocha or can you use client access? 
Can you do other things such as ftp?  Or is it limited
to telnet?  Sounds very promising - thank you - 

Sounds like I need to do the samething Stanley needs
to do.
