The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver
The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver permits the integration of the operating
systems Windows 95 and 98 and the ISDN.
The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver permits the use of Remote Access Services
(RAS) via ISDN. NDIS is the abbreviation for Network Device Interface
Specification and is a standard for interfacing network cards (hardware) to
network protocols (software). NDIS WAN is a Microsoft extension of this
standard in respect of wide area networking (WAN). The NDIS WAN CAPI
Driver for ISDN thus permits the use of the ISDN controller as a WAN card,
in which case the ISDN controller is addressed via the COMMON-ISDN-A.
