  Remote Access Services
  
     <communications> (RAS) A service provided by Windows NT
     which allows most of the services which would be available on
     a network to be accessed over a modem link.  The service
     includes support for dialup and logon, and then presents
     the same network interface as the normal network drivers
     (albeit slightly slower!).  It is not necessary to run Windows
     NT on the client - there are client versions for other
     Windows operating systems.
