DIAL-UP TCP/IP SUPPORT
(263GR 21-Sep-1998)

Entegrity NetCrusader and DCE products require a TCP/IP transport service for communication between systems. This TCP/IP service would typically offer support for both TCP (connection-oriented) and UDP (connectionless) protocols so that the software can be configured to use one or the other protocol if necessary.

Entegrity limits the TCP/IP services it officially supports to those we have tested thoroughly. As a result:

• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) services (including the popular Microsoft Remote Access Service) have been confirmed to work properly and are fully supported by our DCE and NetCrusader products. However, you may have to set a configuration argument (mru=) on the server side to a value of 1500.
• Although you may find that SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol) services work as well, they remain unsupported by Entegrity at this time.

In addition, DCE requires the ability to send packets of size 1K bytes over the network. This is usually not a problem in typical LAN environments but we have seen instances of dial-up TCP services that do not support packets of this size and which cannot be configured to do so.
