5.2. Remote Access Service (RAS)

RAS is the Remote Access Service in Windows NT. RAS works in conjunction with the Dialup Networking Applet. Together with TAPI, PPP, and NDIS, the user is capable of interacting with the service selections provided by the specified dialup networking setup.

RAS performs the following:

1. Establishes framing rules between the host and the remote.
2. Initiates PPP authentication protocols to authenticate the remote.
3. Uses network control protocols enable and configure the host for the WAN protocols that will be used on the remote. The host and remote can now transfer data using any supported protocol.
