ISDN WAN Miniport Installation

The ISDN WAN Miniport is a device driver specification that uses the Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) as the line interface. 

The drivers enable applications designed to use the Microsoft WAN Miniport interface, such as Microsoft Remote Access Service (RAS), to utilise the X.25 and ISDN capabilities of an Eiconcard.

Both the X.25 and the ISDN WAN Miniport drivers can be used simultaneously with other Connections for Windows 2000 components and services (such as the Eiconcard Router Service and XPAD).

The Eiconcard WAN Miniport drivers are included on the Microsoft Windows 2000 CD, and the Eiconcard Connections for Windows 2000 CD.
