A combination of a computer and specific software that exists to provide remote network access to users. A RAS is often associated with a firewall to ensure security and may operate in conjunction with a router for forwarding the remote access requests to some other part of the network. A RAS may also be used as part of a virtual private network or a wireless network. RAS is a feature built into Windows NT that enables users to log into an NT-based LAN using a modem, X.25 connection or WAN link. RAS works with several major network protocols, including TCP/IP, IPX, and Netbeui. To use RAS from a remote node, you need a RAS client program, which is built into most versions of Windows, or any PPP client software. For example, most remote control programs work with RAS.
