RE: RE: RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection -- MIDRANGE-L

Rob,

In the case of Client Access 5250, no it's not just telnet.  There are other 
ports CA uses when you start a 5250 session.

Now I believe some of the other 5250 emulation products do use only port 
23-telnet, but don't hold me to that.
