RE: VPN

I am new to all of this (as of late last year and a VPN to allow our Sales
folks to access our AS/400). As you note, this was not always supported. 

Our AS/400 isn't public and the VPN router sits behind a firewall. Is that
of concern ?

Thanks,

Chuck

I knew PPTP (I used it to connect to Miscrosoft NT sever using VPN) VPN was 
in the Windows 95, 98 (never used the others), but I did not know they 
added L2TP but it looks like they did

As a side not if you make your AS400 accessible from the Internet do not 
think that VPN will make your AS400 any more secure. It just encrypts the 
data sent back and forth.

There is also SSL
