IOLAN is a four-, eight- or 16-port asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. comms server used to connect serial devices such as modems, PCs, data access equipment and terminals/printers to LANs. This new product release provides dial-in/dial-out services for remote IP access on networks using SLIP, CSLIP (Compressed SLIP) A version of SLIP that compresses the data for transmission.

"The demand for modem access to networks is explosive, and these new IOLAN features specifically address this growth," according to Chase president Jeff Pack. "The IOLAN now becomes an ideal product for low-cost branch IP connectivity and Internet providers," adds Pack. International Data Corp. reports significant growth in the remote access market driven by networked PC users' need for dial-out services and remote PC users' requirements to dial into a corporate LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. .
