Hi,
I suggest you take a look at OPENCONNECT SYSTEMS's "OC://WEBCONNECT" product. It
integrates legacy IBM SNA system information with evolving TCP/IP networks.
It also
provide a secure method to access standard 3270, 5250 and VT220 applications
over a WAN
connection.
Some of the feature it can provide are :
- seamless integration
- secure data
- multi-protocol
- mobile & remote computing
- Y2K compliance
Hey, I don't work for them and I don't get any $$$ for doing this :) Hope
this helps you.
