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 500, 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.
