Re: want to allow easy home access to iSeries

Another option is to use an SSH port tunnel. In PASE you set up a redirector that takes the inbound traffic and redirects it to the needed ports then on the PC you start Putty with a tunnel forward. It establishes the connection on the SSH port (default 22) and then you connect Mocha or IBM i Access etc to address 127.0.0.1 (Your PC's loopback address) and it tunnels over SSh to your system.

More secure than opening Telnet!

All you should need to do is open port 23 to the IBM i.

Although I would recommend you *NOT* open port 23 but use a VPN instead.
