Configuring an ISDN connection on a host
Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDNs) are digital telephone services that
can transmit digital and voice data at much faster speeds than traditional modems.
The configuration for an ISDN device is similar to that of a modem.
Symantec pcAnywhere supports ISDN only in North America and Europe. If an
ISDN device is installed and configured properly on your computer, pcAnywhere
automatically detects it and adds it to the connection device list. Choose this
device only if you are using ISDN in North America. If you are using ISDN in
Europe, you must select ISDN via CAPI 2.0.
Symantec pcAnywhere requires a user name and password for all host sessions.
To connect, the remote user must know the user name and password as well as
the phone number assigned to the host ISDN device.
