or ISDN connection.
Modem Software Requirements
Network Polling can use Dial-up Networking (RAS). Remote clients must use the
same modem software that is used at the Print Server to send jobs. In order to set
up a modem station using RAS on a Windows 95 computer, you must purchase
the Windows 95 Plus Package and install Dial-up Server to receive incoming jobs.

If you want to run both RAS or another communications software package at the
Control Station, you must set up a dedicated modem for each communications
software package. Do not try to switch between RAS and another

Receiving Jobs from a Client
The Client is a limited version of the Job Editor software. The Client allows
remote users to create job tickets, define printing parameters, and send jobs to the
Print Server via network, modem or floppy disk. It is possible for the Client to
send jobs directly to a Job Queue, though this is not recommended. Instead, PLP
recommends sending jobs to a Network Polling directory or FTP site.
