Using a global hypertext a LAN manager has the possibility to have tools on his management console no matter where they are or where they are coming from. Using hypertext, he is in the situation to act quickly and efficiently. A prerequisite for this is good network connectivity inside and outside the organization. In this way it is possible to integrate remote and local resources to achieve the goal of quick and effective network management (Fig. 8).

On the other side arises a question of security. What to release for free? This is a question that should be handled inside the organization
