Chapter 8 Dial-In Networks
The dial-in network application program interface (API) allows you to add dial-in networks to augment the built-in SprintNet and ConcertNet networks already in the system. A dial-in network basically provides phone numbers for an application (or transport) to call to get access to the network.For example, a CompuServe mail client would need to register a CompuServe dial-in network to supply numbers for connecting to the CompuServe network.
The primary function of a dial-in network is to supply phone numbers to call given a particular location. It supplies these phone numbers by providing a function to be called by elements such as the connection slip and the Internet Enabler. This function returns the possible numbers.
Dial-in networks are stored in a registry in the system. To register a dial-in network with the system, you must put a dial-in network into this registry. A developer does this by calling the registration function *
RegDialinNetwork, passing in a network frame that describes the dial-in network; see "Network Frame".
