Connection protocols for Windows 95 dial-up client
The following connection protocols may be used by a Windows 95 remote client to dial-up to a server.
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
======================
PPP is the standard for remote access and is recommended due to its flexibility and its role as an industry standard. PPP also provides for future flexibility with client and server hardware and software. A dial-up client running PPP can connect to a network running IPX, TCP/IP, or NetBEUI protocols. PPP is the default protocol for the Microsoft Dial-Up adapter.
Novell NetWare Connect
==================
Use NetWare Connect to allow a computer running Windows 95 to connect directly to a NetWare connect server. If the computer is running a NetWare-compatible network client, it can connect to NetWare servers. Windows 95 can only act as a client for connecting to a NetWare Connect server. NetWare Connect clients cannot dial-up and connect to a Windows 95 dial-up server directly.
RAS for Windows NT 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11
============================================
Asynchronous NetBEUI is used for two purposes:
- to connect computers running Windows 95 to remote access servers running Windows NT 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11;
- to connect computers running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or Windows NT 3.1 to a Windows 95 dial-up server.
NOTE: The remote access server must be running NetBEUI.
Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)
==========================
SLIP is typically used by UNIX remote access servers and should only be used with a UNIX system configured as a SLIP server for Internet connections. The remote access server must be running TCP/IP. Windows 95 SLIP is for dial-out only.
