Re: Security, the AS/400 and the internet

This is pure BS.  This person does not know networking.

At the very least you can run PPTP on your remote PC and a VPN server at
the home office.  This creates a VPN between you and the main network. 
Done correctly this is transparent to your applications.  Is it  free -
maybe not but it is definitely possible.
