  • Dial-up Networking
    Provides information about dial-up networking support in Windows CE. This technology allows a device to access network resources from a remote location. First, a connection is established with the remote computer, and then the device, or client, can upload and download files.
  • Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
    Provides information about PPPoe support in Windows CE. This technology provides the ability to connect a network of hosts, over a simple bridging access device, to a Remote Access Concentrator.
  • Telephony API
    Provides information about Telephony API support in Windows CE. This technology manages phone connection and disconnection and is required for call setup and modem support. TAPI includes Unimodem, which supports AT command-based standard modems.
  • Virtual Private Networking
    Provides information about Virtual Private Networking support in Windows CE, including Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)/IP Security Protocol (IPSec) and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). L2TP/IPSec enables a more secure virtual private network (VPN) client connection from a Windows CE-based device to a corporate server. PPTP is a network protocol that adds a security infrastructure for the transfer of data from a remote client to a private enterprise server, thus creating a VPN by using TCP/IP-based data networks.
