Unfortunately, you've asked a question for which there is no easy answer.
First, I am assuming you're not asking for a firewall solution that runs on
OS/400. OS/400 is too complex to make a good firewall so there are no
firewall solutions running directly on OS/400. Beyond that, there is no
"one size fits all" firewall solution. Considerations for which solution
you choose include where you're placing the firewall in your network
configuration, what services you want it to perform, such as proxy serving,
network address translation, packet filtering, virus scanning, and virtual
private networking, to name a few. If you are interested in an example of a
firewall running in an iSeries partition running Linux, you can contact Mark Even
in the Custom Technology Center at IBM Rochester, MN
for a case study on how one customer made this work. ==================================
