Accessing the Internet Using a Modem

  • Article

With a modem installed, a Windows CE–based device can be used to establish a RAS connection. If your device is not equipped with a modem, a PC Card modem or an external modem is required to use RAS. See the modem manufacturer's installation guide.

With a Windows CE device, a user can access the Internet. Using Windows CE and RAS, a user can make an Internet Protocol (IP) call over a PPP connection to an Internet host computer.

A corporation can set up a remote access server using a Windows CE-based device with connections through a router to the Internet. The server can operate isolated from the corporate network to provide a networking environment with enhanced security. Users can dial one number for both Internet access and access to the corporate local area network (LAN).
