Now the discussion is about VPN and SSL (or SSH) - is it redundant or not. Well, it depends on VPN implementation details, on security requirements (shall we allow unencrypted traffic within datacenter or not), etc. I would pay attention to different aspect: the cost of SSL as add-on to VPN. T

z/OS can certainly be a VPN endpoint. z/OS supports IPSec, for example, and much IPSec-related processing can run on zIIP(s). I agree with the other posters, though, that (at least as the original question was phrased *) TLS/SSL is the way to go, and mainframe-direct. Yes, it is possible to use se

John, if you need a cheap and reliable 3270 Emulation then give Vista tn3270 a try. see www.tombrennansoftware.com Since V1.26 it supports secure connections over a SSL connection - I guess this is what you need. The pros and cons of (all) 3270 emulations have been discussed here before.
