Re: Secure Telnet FROM OS/400

The base telnet client that comes with OS/400 does not have SSL capability
(at least, not in V5R2 or earlier... someone else will have to tell you if
that has changed in V5R3)

You could work around the limitation by creating a telnet proxy.  This
would be a socket program that runs on the same iSeries that you're
telnetting from.  It accepts an ordinary TCP stream, and copies it to an
SSL stream, then sends data to/from the destination system on the SSL
stream.

Relatively easy to write if you're familiar with TCP and SSL sockets
programming.
