Re: Getting to Iseries using DSL and Iseries Access

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A hardware VPN would be fine. I worked at a place with DSL a few years 
ago, we put in a LinkSys VPN router behind the DSL modem. You will need 
some kind of client for your remote people - might be able to just use 
Windows' VPN setup, or Netgear might have a client - their manual will 
tell you what to do. You probably don't need your remotes to get their 
own VPN router.

As to the iSeries, are their users connected to it now? Are they using 
dumb terminals or PCs? If the latter, they ARE set up with TCP/IP. If 
not, set up TCP/IP - give the iSeries interface some address on the 
inside of the VPN router, connect an Ethernet cable from the 520 to one 
of the inside ports of the router, there you go.

I know I've not covered everything - but that is my first blush run at it.
