Re: RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection

Hi Charles

Ideally I'd like to use Client Access, although I have used Mocha Soft's TN5250 
and SDI's TN3270 Plus (inc 5250) in the past.

For the moment I'm just testing the visibility of the 400 over the internet 
using http.  Ultimately I would like to have FTP, TN5250 and HTTP working, 
opening whatever ports are necessary.

All the best
