I've audited some Unix style systems, AIX, HP-UX and have some knowledge in IBM z/OS. I don't have a bunch of AS400 experience but I'm happy to attempt to help with my current knowledge. I wouldn't say I'm billable to this nature though, since I don't have advanced experience with AS400.
Edit: And why Telnet? SSH or bust. Doesn't matter if it is an internal system or not, Telnet is a big no no.

Clients wants telnet up for "testing" tho i don't know why and dont ask questions..

Ugh I've heard that before. Ask why, ask questions. It is sad to see enterprise level systems still with Telnet access. Explain how bloody easy it is to sniff telnet passwords on an internal network with MiTM attacks. SSH at least makes it more difficult.
That's craaaazy. People still using this thing? I took AS/400 class and don't ever want to do that again. I still have this book though.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/iu8Vq6E.jpg)
i would not give telnet access either. Not secure at all. System should be setup to use IBM emulation software for green screen interacing. Of course, your probably using Cisco VPN or something, and the AS400 person would need to have that installed in order to get into your network.
Unless there is another way like direct dial to the AS400, which is probably not set up on the AS400 as it sounds like you are not set up with digital certs/SSH on the AS400/iSeries itself, as well. Someone would need to be on site to get this done. At least securely. It is not a minor thing and there are other considerations.
I could assist you with this if you want to get me to your shop.
Where are you ?
