Set up the iSeries to have 5250 emulation access via the Internet

We want to set up our iSeries 810 to have 5250 emulation access via the Internet. For example, we would like a remote user to be able to be at his computer and be dialed into his ISP and have access to a sign-on screen on our system. I don't know where to start or how to secure it. Can you point me in the right direction?
