Apple Remote Access Client for Macintosh
Apple Remote Access Client for Macintosh software provides an easy, productive,
and secure way to connect a desktop Apple Macintosh or PowerBook computer
to information and resources at a remote location.
And because it works with all Apple Remote Access-compatible servers --
including the Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server and Personal Server software
-- it lets you choose the level of server support you need, whether you
belong to a small workgroup or a multinational corporation.
Apple Remote Access Client for Macintosh is designed with efficiency and
productivity in mind. It installs in minutes and is remarkably easy to use,
minimizing the need for ongoing support. For example, the software's built-in
DialAssist technology makes dialing back to the office network simple, even
for international travelers. It lets you build dialing sequences that help
mask the complexities of the worldwide telephone system -- so you can connect
easily from anywhere in the world. And Apple Remote Access Client for Macintosh
has features that help you manage everything from repeat connections to
connection time.
In addition, because it supports System 7, Apple Remote Access Client for
Macintosh software lets you work with such familiar features as the Chooser,
the Finder, and the Alias Manager. In short, it provides everything Macintosh
or PowerBook users need to help them get their work done easily and efficiently
-- wherever they are.
