RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jonathan,

What are you trying to use to access the 400? 5250 Terminal emulation (which 
one?)

Since you're directing traffic to port 80 on the 400 I assume you are just 
using http, iSeries Access for the web perhaps?

Are you sure only one port is needed?  Client Access for instance needs more 
than just the tn5250 port.
