NetWAYS/ISDN – 1 Welcome to NetWAYS/ISDN 7
Comparison between a conventional LAN workstation and a remote
computer connected over ISDN
The dial-in server for NetWAYS/ISDN at the LAN or Internet
end may be one of AVM’s market-leading remote access
servers, or any other manufacturer’s RAS product that sup-
ports the “PPP over ISDN” standard.
All classic LAN applications can be used on the remote com-
puter. Such applications may include client software for Mi-
crosoft or NetWare networks, web browsers, e-mail clients,
and terminal emulation programs.
Yet NetWAYS/ISDN, in cooperation with the remote system,
does much more than an ordinary network adapter driver.
The software provides many advanced functions that define
the state of the art in remote access:
reduced connection costs
increased throughput
greater security
