Re: AS/400 Access via the Internet

Go for it,

        Use a DSL Router / Cable Router like SpeedStream or LinkSys at the
home,  A GOOD Firewall on your end, and depending on IP Forwarding, Sockets,
ODBC and other other tools you want the user to have access to, maybe a VPN
with the 400's native L2TP and a Client tool like SoftPK from IRE...

        Fast it will be, but you are entering the Highspeed open freeway,
don't be behind the wheel of a Model-T for security solutions...  !!
