Remote Access: Apple Remote Access (ARA) 2.x Charged Service Upgraded

CIT Network Systems
December 8, 1998

CIT's Charged Remote Access Service has been upgraded to improve support for Apple Remote Access (ARA) 2.x.

When CIT's current Charged Remote Access Service (phone 806-1000) was announced in Spring 1998, it did not reliably support ARA 2.x. At that time, we established a separate Charged ARA 2.x Service (phone 258-2535) as a workaround.

As of December 8 1998, we believe that the incompatibilities between our Charged Remote Access Service (phone 806-1000) and ARA 2.x have been resolved. We recommend that ARA 2.x customers currently dialing 258-2535 switch to using 806-1000. (We plan to retire the 258-2535 number in the future.) Switching to the new phone number will provide you with access to faster modems; 806-1000 supports speeds up to 56,000 bits per second while 258-2535 is limited to 33,600 bits per second.
