Dial-Out Access
NETServer 8/16 Plus modem ports can be accessed by network
PCs and workstations to provide users with dialout services.
This allows network users to send faxes, connect to Bulletin
Board Systems (BBS), information services such as CompuServe,
or the Internet over a dial-up PPP connection. LAN users
require an NCSI-compatible communications application to
access NETServer Plus modems (see Chapter 6: Network Dial-
Out Access for more information). See Figure 3 below.
