The remote access server as a dial-up networking server

Routing and Remote Access provides traditional dial-up remote access to support mobile users or home users who are dialing in to organization intranets. Dial-up equipment that is installed on the server running Routing and Remote Access answers incoming connection requests from dial-up networking clients. The remote access server answers the call, authenticates and authorizes the caller, and transfers data between the dial-up networking client and the organization intranet.

The following illustration shows dial-up networking functionality.
