Remote Access Services <communications> (RAS) A service provided by {Windows NT} which allows most of the services which would be available on a {network} to be accessed over a {modem} link.

It is not necessary to run Windows NT on the {client} - there are client versions for other {Windows} {operating systems}. [What services?] (1996-08-14)
