Secure Internet Connection via MS SNA Server

["Peter Schaefer" <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're looking for a secure way to permit our users to gain 
interactive access to our AS/400 via the Internet.  

After reading the promotional material for Microsoft's SNA Server, it 
appears to be a viable solution:

Client <------Internet------>NT Server 4.0<-----LAN------>AS/400  
                   (TCP/IP)               &                      (SNA)         
                                           SNA Server 3.0

Anybody doing this?

Any gothcas?

What kind of encrytion is occurring between the client and the SNA 
Server?  PPTP?

Any other alternative solutions?

Thanks.
