Dial-up TCP/IP networking clients provide remote networking for telecommuters, mobile 
workers, and system administrators who monitor and manage servers at multiple branch 
offices. Users of dial-up TCP/IP networking on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT computers 
can dial in to remotely access their networks for services such as file and printer sharing, 
electronic mail, scheduling, and database access.

Both Windows 95/98 and Windows NT support routing TCP/IP traffic over dial-up TCP/IP 
connections through several different types of dial-up TCP/IP networking servers, including 
the following:

●

UNIX system servers that support either of the industry-standard point-to-point protocol 
(PPP) or serial line IP (SLIP) dial-up TCP/IP networking standards.

●

Windows NT remote access service (RAS) servers.

●

Third-party remote access service servers that support PPP and/or SLIP connections, 
such as those that are available from CISCO, 3COM, and Bay Networks.

Dial-up Windows 95/98 and Windows NT computers that are configured to route TCP/IP 
also can be configured to use WINS servers. For details, see your Windows 95/98 and 
Windows NT documentation.

Dial-up Windows 95/98 and Windows NT computers that are configured to route TCP/IP 
and use WINS can access remotely their networks for services, including Advanced Server 
and Windows NT file and print sharing, electronic mail, scheduling, and database access.
