ISDN or X.25 WAN Miniport and Microsoft RRAS

You can use the Eiconcard Connections for Windows ISDN or X.25 WAN Miniport in conjunction

with Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) to enable remote dial-in access

remote user with access to client-server applications such as SQL Server, connections through

Host Integration Server to an IBM mainframe, or connections to the Internet.
