Works great.  When I need to get into my i5 back at the office I log 
into a
VPN appliance called Net Extender from Sonicwall. 
On another note you can get 5250 emulation on your blackberry which I
haven't tried yet.

I can do exact same with my Treo 700p.
We have a Treo here for after-hours support use.  We use the Mochasoft 
5250 emulator for Palm OS to access the system to answer messages and so 
on, which works really well most of the time.  We do have one problem with 
the emulator - if we try to do subfile options in our main dispatch 
program, the emulator will hang.  Haven't explored the problem yet as it 
is not really a big problem for us, but it is worth noting for those 
considering this solution.
In terms of security, I believe the Mochasoft emulator can connect over 
SSL, so you can have a secure connection from any Internet endpoint that 
you can install the software on (assuming you trust the endpoint itself).
