Has anyone used a telnet emulator that runs as or on a web server? I'm not looking for an embedded telnet (port 23) client, but rather a telnet connectivity tool that looks and smells to the client like a web page. Work Station Gateway is one example, but that won't work for my purposes because of the rotating port number problem (moving target). I need something that runs on Port 80 or Port 81. I want to be able to sit at any Internet Explorer session that's connected to the internet and pull up a telnet session to my as/400 using only port 80 and HTTP as connectivity. Basically I need some way to get in without port 23. WSG is a good start, but it requires ports other than 80 to work, and these typically don't survive the trip through a firewall. Often times, client (customer) firewalls block telnet access to the outside world. Has anyone used iSeries Web Access? I know that it has a telnet style component, but will it work for this purpose? Does it use flaky ports like WSG? Any ideas? Thanks.
