Re: want to allow easy home access to iSeries

But of course opening port 23 means "opening the IBM i to the entire

I suppose you could only allow certain IP's in, but that's probably
not feasible given that the users would probably have dynamic IPs.

All you should need to do is open port 23 to the IBM i.

Although I would recommend you *NOT* open port 23 but use a VPN instead.
