        If your AS/400 is using tcp/ip, it is open to anyone in the world 
     and even a little beyond.  I think astronauts on the Space Shuttle 
     have been on the Internet while in space.
        It would be nice to be able to conveniently track a user to a 
     particular IP address, especially if the IP address is not one where 
     you're expecting the user to be.  For example, let's say my boss has a 
     bunch of telnet sessions going, which is fine.  And say we have a 
     bunch of telnet sessions coming in from Chicago, which is also fine.  
     If one of those Chicago sites is using my boss's profile, even though 
     he is in the office just down the hall from me, I'm not going to 
     notice it.  Even if I'm scanning active jobs and active IP addresses, 
     nothing looks amiss.  But if I can see that his profile is coming from 
     Chi., I can kill the connection and disable the profile, while of 
     course, explaining all of this to my boss so he doesn't disable me. :)
        The more tools we have to track and control IP connections, the 
     better.
