PPP and ARA

PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol, a protocol that allows a computer to use commonly used communication protocols (e.g., IP, AppleTalk, DECnet, IPX) with a standard telephone line and a high-speed modem. PPP is a standard that replaces SLIP. NCAR does not support SLIP.

ARAP stands for Appletalk Remote Access Protocol. It provides an asynchronous AppleTalk connection to AppleTalk networks through a modem. A remote user using ARAP can log on to a remote server and mount the volume on his desktop as if he were connected locally.
