Logging In to Remote Hosts

Communication servers are most commonly used to allow remote users to dial in to a network location and access a host with their local account. This configuration is also used by ISPs that provide many users access to shell accounts.

PortMaster asynchronous ports can be configured for login by dial-in users. When users dial in, they are connected to a modem, are allowed to log in, and are then connected to a specified host for the current session.

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