application server by means of a PortServer II and the PSTN. Features to note include:
• Each dial-in user has access to the corporate server.
• The corporate server is connected to PortServer II by Ethernet (see
Chapter 4
).
• RealPort software is not required on the corporate server.
• The remote users connect on dial-in TCP/IP connections, using PPP, SLIP, or
CSLIP. For example, they may use Windows 95’s HyperTerminal program to
make PPP connections (see

• PortServer II can make a primary authentication of users, or the server may be a
RADIUS server for ease of configuration (see
