With the AT&T announcement on the elimination of dial and leased SNA access at the end of 2005, the announcement indicates that telnet access will be available as a replacement. Citing "best practices", my firewall group won't open telnet ports, and having reviewed some of the exploits reported over the years, I'm not sure I disagree. When I called IBMLINK support about the need for a secure mechanism for access to IBM SNA they directed me to the AT&T folks who are still working on a response. So the question becomes, what does the ibm-main community plan to do for secure access to IBMLINK?
