## Remote-Access Protocols

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) supports other protocols in addition to Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). These include IPX/SPX and NetBUEI for Windows NT, making it possible to run traditional Netware or LAN Manager programs over the RAS link. Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) is limited to TCP/IP, and is less preferable due to this restriction and the improved functionality offered by PPP. Windows NT also includes support for the X.25 protocol, which is less common in the United States than the rest of the world.
