Internet Gateway

An organization with a network can establish a RAS server with direct connections (through a router) to the Internet. To provide for security, the server can be isolated from the rest of the corporate network. (For more information about security, see Chapter 3, "Server Security on the Internet.")

Users can dial one number that gives them access to the Internet, and dial another number that gives them access to the corporate intranet. See the following section for more information about this scenario.
