Overview
While the NETServer 8/16 Plus release nominally marks the
latest upgrade in the NETServer V.34/I-modem family, it truly
represents a new phase in product development by the
introduction of a brand new code set. This development is a
considerable departure from 3.x releases in how the NETServer
command set works, with enhanced features and greater ease of
use.
Generally speaking, the Command Line Interface (CLI) is more
versatile than earlier command sets, offering a path to more
inclusive management and detailed accounting, a fast and easy
configuration wizard and links to an intuitive GUI configurator
- the NETServer Manager Plus (NMP).
What’s New with NETServer 8/16 Plus
With a few exceptions, the NETServer 8/16 Plus encompasses
all the functionality of the NETServer 3.x, and more. NETServer
8/16 Plus adds the following new features:
• AppleTalk Phase II support

• ARAP dial-in and RTMP support
