Overview
You can access modem ports on the SuperStack II Remote Access System
(RAS) 1500 from computers on the network to provide dial-out services.
Using Telnet Network
Dial-out
Network dial-out allows computers connected to the local area network
(LAN) to access modems on the RAS 1500, as though the modems were
directly connected to the computers. Once connected to a modem, a
network user can dial out to the Internet, electronic bulletin board
systems (BBSs), information services (such as CompuServe), ftp sites, and
e-mail sites—anything that you could access with a modem directly
connected to the computer. See Figure 7 for a diagram of Network
dial-out over Telnet.
