PSC/400 is designed for this sort of situation.  While the standard
configuration uses WebSphere on the same machine, you can also run the web
server on a second iSeries, or even on a non-iSeries platform.

PSC/400 has a 5250 emulation mode that looks almost exactly like your
dial-up interface, so there's no retraining.  The second mode allows as many
different customizations as you want, and the ability to select between them
by user ID or IP address or even browser.
