Dial-In Network Connectivity

A PortMaster asynchronous port can provide PPP or SLIP service to a dial-in user, allowing the user to route TCP/IP traffic across a modem to access the local network or the entire Internet. If the port is running PPP, the user can also route IPX traffic in this way.

This configuration is very heavily used by ISPs and by corporations with remote users running client/server applications that need to access central hosts from home, from field offices, or on the road.

For examples, see the information on user dial-in in the PortMaster Configuration Guide.
