Hi Chuck,
You can build customer and vendor portals using Microsoft Visual Studio and ASP.Net pretty easily.
You can talk to the i using the CA/400 DB Drivers, XMLSERVICE, JT400 and more.
You can easily continue to use your existing DB2 data and RPG code on the web, collect credit card data and process payments and more.
If you need guidance or your team needs a project jump start, feel free to contact me for discussion.
I'm sure you'll hear similar data from the 8000 other responses you'll get :-)
A lot of what you choose will be based on your team's skillsets, time availability and of course budget $$$

subject: iSeries web "stuff"
I'm trying to put together (i.e. understand) what the best options (tools) are for providing external access to iSeries data via the internet and allow customer driven inquiry and on-line payment for invoices. I know there seems to be dozens of tools and options, and obviously security is an issue. So, please if you've "been there, done that" point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
