Internet or PPP Router
Some small businesses need high-speed connections into the Internet or
need to connect to large global networks used by larger organizations.
When communicating with another AccessBuilder ISDN bridge/router, the
unit uses FastConnect, its own proprietary high speed protocol. However, in
order to connect with other routers it needs to be configured to use the
slower PPP protocol. PPP is used by many other routers.
Increasingly Internet service providers are offering access to the Internet
over ISDN via an ISDN router. PPP routing over ISDN allows a simple
cost-effective connection to the Internet or into a large organization’s
global network.
