Remote Access (Again)

Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the direction of Greenstreak and other
utilities.  While we may look at a new AS/400 soon, I have to get back to
getting some people remote access right now.

I need to allow certain people to access our AS/400 using Rumba and Arpeggio
(part of Rumba) over the Internet.  I've done some traces and I've found
which ports to open on my firewall to make this work.

My real question:  What are the security implications of leaving ports 23
and 449 open to the world?  If it's too nasty, I guess I'm looking at a VPN.
I'd like to avoid that just for the end-user confusion it causes.

Thanks for any tips on this.
