	older protocol, SLIP, as it is more stable and has more error-
	checking features.
	PPP has been a widely used Internet standard for sending
	datagrams over a communications link. The PPP standard is
	described in RFC 1661 by the Point-to-Point Working Group of
	the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). PPP is commonly
	used when remote computers call an Internet service provider
	(ISP) or a corporate server that is configured to receive incoming
	calls.
RADIUS	Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a client/server
	protocol and software that enables remote access servers to
	communicate with a central server to authenticate dial-in users
	and authorize their access to the requested system or service.
	RADIUS allows a company to maintain user profiles in a central
	database that all remote servers can share.
RC4	Rivest Cipher four, an encryption method using variable length
	secret key streams. RC4 is an alternate to DES and is
	approximately ten times as fast as DES; however, it is less secure.
Root Access	Root is the term for a very highly privileged administrative user
	(particularly in Unix environments). When an ISP grants you root
	access, it means you will have full control of the server. With full
	control, you will be able to install any software and access any
	file on that server.
Routing Table	The Routing Table defines which interface should transmit an IP
	packet based on destination IP information.
RPC	Short for Remote Procedure Call. A type of protocol that allows a
	program on one computer to execute a program on a server. Using
	RPC, a system developer do not need to develop specific
	procedures for the server. The client program sends a message to
	the server with appropriate arguments and the server returns a
	message containing the results of the program executed.
