DISCUSSION Overview The Apple Remote Access Personal Server software includes everything you need to access your Mac OS computer, and AppleTalk or TCP/IP network services, from a remote location. Any computer which supports the industry standard Point-to-Point-Protocol (PPP)-based on the Mac OS, Windows, or Newton system software can access the server over standard telephone lines. Further, it allows any Mac OS- compatible computer with Apple Remote Access 2.x or 3.0 client software to connect with another Mac OS computer, or an entire network using both AppleTalk or TCP/IP network services over standard telephone lines. Connections with Apple Remote Access 2.x requires an IP gateway to provide access for TCP/IP (Internet) applications. It takes only minutes to set up and offers powerful capabilities that can help make an individual user or a small workgroup using Mac OS compatible systems even more productive-- no matter where they are. With the Apple Remote Access Personal Server, you can work wherever you like-- at home or on the road-- and retain access to all of the resources of your office computer or network. AppleTalk and TCP/IP network services can be used simultaneously.

Yet doing all of this is as simple as if you were working at your office. Getting started with Apple Remote Access Personal Server is easy.
