Re: Secure Telnet Between i5's ?

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One very easy solution is to use an SSH tunnel.  Here's an IBM site with 
instructions:
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/enable/site/porting/tools/openssh.html

As far as I know, there's no SSL capability in IBM's TELNET client. 
However, it wouldn't be too hard to create a proxy program that runs on 
the local computer and establishes the SSL connection for you.  That 
would accomplish approximately the same thing that the SSH setup (above) 
does, except it would not require an SSH server on the remote machine.

Both solutions should work.
