This dovetails with a problem I have.
My employer has a legacy serial network. It reserves the 8th bit for network
controls and reserves a couple of the ASCII control characters for control
purposes. So it doesn’t provide an 8 bit clean path, not even a 7 bit clean
path.
It would be useful to be able to run a Windows PPP connection over this net.
This means I need to insert a driver into the picture below that will take a
PPP packet expressed in 8 bit characters and recode it to fit into this
network. And take received packets in the network format and recode them
into 8 bit PPP packets.
Where should this component go and what do I have to do to install it?
And, since it would have to support all existing Windows version, how many
versions of this component do I need?
Thanks,
++PLS

To be honest I don’t know too much about TAPI (or maybe know but don’t know
it is TAPI :). It should be covered in Platform SDK docs. What I know is
that some service (RasMan or another) sends IOCTLs to NdisWan to control WAN
lines. For firewall (w2k and above) it isn’t necessary to know. You should
intercept traffic between NdisWan and TcpIp (WanArp driver), 1 at your
picture. 2 should work as well but there can be more WAN miniports which
makes things more complicated. NDIS filter driver is informed about traffic
on RAS lines using NDIS_WAN_LINE* IOCTLs.

Hello Michal!
I want to know such things:
How application from on host can connect to another in WAN ?
Thru TAPI?
And how works RAS when something want to connect to LAN from WAN. I think
it can be in such way: RAS thru TAPI detect
when something want to connect, after this RAS setup the router (for
example for ip protocol) and after this all traffic going thru NDISWAN
and MSTCP… Is it true?
RAS

Transport TAPI
|1 |

NdisWan ------ NdisTapi
|
|2
WanMiniPort
So my firewall must intersept traffic in link 1 or 2?
