The RAS 1500 gives you a choice of connection protocols: the PPP, ideal
for Internet access as well as internetworking in mixed-vendor
environments, and FastConnect Protocol (FCP) from 3Com.
FCP runs over LAPB, which is a flavor of High-level Data Link Control
(HDLC).
FCP, which optimizes Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) links
between the RAS 1500 and the OfficeConnect
delivers nearly instantaneous ISDN link establishment.
By connecting more quickly, the RAS 1500 optimizes your performance
and reduces your ISDN call charges.
