New Features Provided by NetWare Connect 2.0
============================================
In addition to the features provided by NetWare Connect 1.0, NetWare
Connect 2.0 provides the following new features.

For Macintosh Users
1. Macintosh workstations, on a NetWare LAN, can use Mac2NCS to dial out
through the server.  All that is required is a standard Macintosh
communications application.

2. ARAS 2.0 (Appletalk Remote Access Service) with its enhanced dialing
options is now supported in addition to ARAS 1.0.


For NetWare 4.10 Sites
NetWare Connect 2 can store communications information in the NDS tree.
Bindery Emulation in a NW 4.1 server does not need to be implemented.
(A utility is provided which allows a NetWare Connect installer without
full Admin rights to expand the NDS schema.)
NOTE: NetWare 3.12 still also supported.


TCP/IP
1. NetWare Connect 2 supports three IP addressing solutions;
    - fixed client
    - dynamic NetWare Connect
    - BootP server
The BootP addressing can be accomplished with a provided NLM which assigns
addresses to NetWare Connect users in a BootP like manner.

2. NetWare Connect 2 provides both Novell's IPX and IP protocol stack for
remote nodes.  Additional TCP/IP tools can be obtained by purchasing LAN
WorkPlace for DOS.


General
1. Support of up to 128 ports, double the 64 port limit of NetWare Connect
1.0.

2. New Audit Trail information including connection speed, a duration entry
for each connection, and a summary of the data transmitted during a
session.  Audit information can be exported to a spreadsheet.

3. New dialers for both Windows and DOS users.  These feature a telephone
number address book and call scripting.

4. Default use of the hardware data compression feature of modems.

5. Dialout Windows users can use (without a NASI modification) standard
Windows communication applications with NetWare Connect's dynamic modem
pool, including applications using Windows 95.

6. Provides "ConnectView", a feature laden Windows based, NetWare Connect
management tool, providing trend analysis, and cost accounting functions.
ConnectView can be use alone or with Novell's ManageWise. (RConsole can
also still be used.)

7. NetWare Connect remote node client dialers have been redesigned to use
PPP as their transport mechanism.  (Still supports NetWare Connect 1.0 RNS
transport protocol for backward compatibility.)

8. NetWare Connect now offers four remote access security models for
administrators to select from.  Additional security including the PAP and
CHAP protocols and third-party products.

9. During installation, most modems and multi-port cards can be
automatically detected, simplifying configuration.

However;
     - WIN32 communication applications are not supported, such as the
     Terminal program supplied with Windows 95.

     - Windows applications that attempt to install display or other
     drivers will probably work not work correctly.  These are normally
     remote control applications.

     - Windows applications that are only marginally Windows compliant,
     will probably not work correctly.
