For a secure connection, you need to create a VPN connection from your home network to your office network. Here's a list of a few ways you can do this: 1. Setup an IPsec tunnel on your firewall 2. Use a Router to Router VPN from your office to your home 3. Install an SSL VPN or VPN concentrator You can use <a href="http://www.attachmate.com/Products/Terminal+Emulation/refweb/refweb.htm">Attachmate Reflection for the Web</a> as another solution so you don't need to have client access installed.

There could be more involved then just connect to the internet and then your AS/400. If you have any sort of network security chances are your AS/400 is behind a firewall. You should try to find local assistance to get your pc on the internet. You will also most likely need to get who ever manages the AS/400 to help you get through any protections that are in place as well as tell you how you are allowed to access it from your home.
