My ISP uses ARAP. Macintoshes dial in using ARAP. There's a DDP/IP gateway that gets them using a "real" protocol. :-) There are some advantages. If the Mac users have a Web site at the ISP, for example, they can drag and drop files to update their Web site using the Chooser and Apple Filing Protocol instead of FTP. AFP is more secure, easier to use, and doesn't hiccup around firewalls. Of course, these Macs could use AFP over IP also and some do. But a bunch of users still dial in with ARAP.
