RE: Web server with Telnet Functionality?

[Justin Haase <JHaase@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I stated previous, the only one which I'm aware of that does what the
original requestor wanted is OpenConnect's solution.

The company I previously worked for which had the same problem tried HOD,
Lansa (NewLook), Hummingbird, Jacada, and Openconnect.  See previous line
for what actually did it for us.

I don't think this will solve his problem, though.  You get the java applet
via port 80, but there are still 5 (static) ports that need to be opened on
a firewall for the java applet to connect to.

I can't think of specifically what can be doen to help David.  Am I assuming
this is the scenario:

You have your AS/400 behind a webserver/firewall.  A client can talk to the
webserver (only port 80) and the webserver can talk to the AS/400 and you
are hopign the webserver can broker a communication between the two.

I don't think you can do that in the way you want.  You would have to have
an actual application running on the server that can keep track of sessions
and the tcp/ip stream alive with your host (since technically at the end of
each page, a tcp stream you created with your web app would be closed).

Here is another company:

But they need ports beside 80 also.
