Access Point: 1 Access Points

Access points, loosely defined, are collections of data useful for making communications connections. The Access Point library keeps track of access points by storing their information in the .INI file.

The library defines a few kinds of access points, identified by the AccessPointType enumerated type:

APT_INTERNET: This access point holds data useful for connecting to an ISP. Applications making a PPP connection can use this information to make the connection.
APT_TERMINAL: This access point holds data useful for connecting to a dialup terminal.
APT_TELNET: This access point holds data useful for making a telnet connection.

For each access point, the AccessPoint library may keep track of any number of properties. While you may store all sorts of information about any access point, there are a number of standard properties, enumerated as AccessPointStandardProperty values, including name, phone number, user ID, address, and password.

Access points are referenced by word-length ID numbers.
