TOPIC

    This article outlines the limitations of Apple Remote Access (ARA) Personal Server 3.5.


DISCUSSION

    Remote Access Personal Server cannot perform the following tasks:
    • Bridge two networks. ARA cannot bridge two networks connected via modems. It may be necessary for the client to configure AppleTalk for Remote Only if problems arise in such a scenario.
    • Handle multiple connections. ARA Server can only handle one remote dial-in connection at a time.
    • Connect over the Internet. ARA must connect over a phone line using analog modems. It is not possible to use ARA over LANs or LAN connections such as T1s, cable modems, ADSL, etc. ISDN connections are supported.
