ComputingA access server is a computer server that enables an independent service provider (ISP) to provide connected customers with Internet access. A access server has interfaces to both the local telecommunication service provider such as the phone company and to the Internet backbone. The server authenticates users requesting login. It receives a dial-up call from each user host (such as your computer) that wants to access the Internet, performs the necessary steps to authenticate and authorize each user, usually by verifying a user name and password, and then allows requests to begin to flow between the user host and hosts (computers) elsewhere on the Internet.
