Note that there are actually two Chapters for user dial in access. They cover two very different types of user: login users and network dial in users.
Login Users
These are users requesting terminal access to an IP host. They dial into the NETServer and are connected to the requested host with a login service such as Telnet or Rlogin. Note that these users don’t need an IP address, since they aren’t actually attaching to the network.

Users
Network Dial In Users
(See Chapter 4 for setup)

Network Dial In Users
Use PPP or SLIP to
become a virtual node

(See Chapter 5 for setup)
