Internet or PPP Router

Some small businesses need high-speed connections into the Internet or 

need to connect to large global networks used by larger organizations. 

When communicating with another AccessBuilder ISDN bridge/router, the 

unit uses FastConnect, its own proprietary high speed protocol. However, in 

order to connect with other routers it needs to be configured to use the 

slower PPP protocol. PPP is used by many other routers.

Increasingly Internet service providers are offering access to the Internet 

over ISDN via an ISDN router. PPP routing over ISDN allows a simple 

cost-effective connection to the Internet or into a large organization’s 

global network.
