DialOut/IP Versus
Telnet
Network computers communicate with the RAS 1500 over the LAN using
either DialOut/IP or Telnet. A difference between DialOut/IP network
dial-out and Telnet network dial-out is that DialOut/IP supports Windows
Dial-Up Networking, and Telnet does not. So, if you need access to the
Internet over a dial-up PPP connection, which Windows Dial-Up
Networking provides, choose DialOut/IP network dial-out.
If you do not need to use Windows Dial-Up Networking, either method is
acceptable, although Telnet is easier to set up.
This chapter details Telnet network dial-out. For details about DialOut/IP,
refer to Chapter 4, “Configuring DialOut/IP”.
