Sorry I can't help. I have however, been playing with "ComSocks" to attempt remote access, through our RAS server, to our AS/400. I used MochaSoft TN5250 on the gateway computer (running ntserver 4.0) and on the clients (running win '95) as well.
 
The bottom line ... Although I can browse the Internet, send and receive mail (outlook), ftp, and do non-AS/400 telnet sessions ... our AS/400 refuses to allow a remote connection to clients through Socks. Only the gateway PC is granted access.
 
I've spent countless hours, days, weeks....
 
If you've had any experience or luck with that one (which I know is *way* off topic for this list) I'd love to hear about it.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Maybe off topic about SOCKS clients

Hi fellas,
Although I don't contribute much to this forum (mostly b/c Dusty stays on top of 90% of the questions here <g>), I read the post almost everyday.  First let me say thanks to everyone for contributing.  There have been many occasions that I hef benefited from your input.
 
To my question: How can I "SOCKSify OE4 so that it will connect to POP3 through an AS400 Proxy/Firewall using SOCKS?  I'm running IMAIL V5.04 with no problems on the non-secure side.  I want the secure client to connect to Imail which is running on the non-secure side.  Netscape works fine, but I believe this is due to the fact that Netscape Mail/Messenger is SOCKSified when you set Netscape up for Proxy.
 
Has anyone used SocksCap (found @ http://www.socks.nec.com/).  IBM Firewall Support mention AutoSocks, but I can't seem to find this product.  If anyone is using something that works, please let me know.  Or should I try a different client?  Any input and/or advise is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
