Securing Telnet with SSL

VPN or SSH (reverse) tunneling. This looks a lot like IBM making things so complex that you need to hire their consultants.

That's what they are doing.

They are just doing it within the 5250 emulator instead of setting up a separate tunnel with a VPN or SSH port forwarding scenario.

I think you'll find that this is exactly what's happening here-its telnet talking through an SSL tunnel. Nothing crazy
