A low cost software solution that provides Internet access for LAN users over a shared, dial-up connection. LAN Internet access is provided by a single, non-dedicated PC workstation, the Office WEB server, equipped with a low-cost ISDN adapter or modem. The server PC uses a Windows `95 or Windows NT dial-up networking service to establish an on-demand dial-up connection over which the LAN users Internet traffic is routed at speeds up to 128kbps. Multiple users can share a dial-up Internet connection at the same time, using a single IP address.
