Acronym Finder is a searchable database containing common acronyms and abbreviations about all subjects, with a focus on computers, technology, telecommunications, and the military. Address The string of characters that you must give an electronic mail program to direct a message to a particular person. The term "Internet address" often refers to an assigned number, which identifies a host on this network. ANSI 1 of 17 23.11.2009 15:50
Frequently used terms http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v4.html (1) ANSI is an organization that sets standards. (2) 'ANSI graphics' (ref. the term ANSI BBS) is a set of cursor control codes that originated on the VT100 terminal. Many online services use them to enhance their transmission of characters to communication programs. The escape character, followed by other characters, are used to move the cursor on the screen, change color, and more. ASCII The American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard seven bit code created to achieve compatibility between various types of data processing equipment. ASCII, pronounced "ask key," is the common code for microcomputer equipment. The Standard ASCII Character Set consists of 128 decimal numbers ranging from zero through 127 assigned to letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and the most common special characters. Each code can be represented by a 7 digit binary number: 0000000 through 1111111. The Extended ASCII Character Set also consists of 128 decimal numbers and ranges from 128 through 255 representing additional special, mathematical, graphic, and foreign characters. ASCII download Retrieval of plain ASCII text (without special codes). Normally, it takes place without automatic error correction, but it is typically managed by XON/XOFF flow control. Asynchronous transfer Serial communication between two computers. When signals are sent to a computer at irregular intervals, they are described as asynchronous. Data is sent at irregular intervals by preceding each character with a start bit and following it with a stop bit. Asynchronous transmission allows a character to be sent at random after the preceding character has been sent, without regard to any timing device. So, in case of line noise, the modem can find out right away where the next byte should start. Autodial When a modem dials a telephone number automatically. Autodial may be started by the user entering the number manually, or the number may be sent automatically by the communications program (for example after having been selected from a phone register). Bandwidth How much you can send through a connection. Usually measured in bits per second. Baud A unit of measurement that shows the number of discrete signal elements, such as bits that can be sent per second. Bits per second (bps) is the number of binary digits sent in one second. There is a difference between bps and baud rate, and the two are often confused. For example, a device such as a modem said to send at 2400 baud is not correct. It actually sends 2400 bits per second. Both baud rate and bps refer to the rate at which the bits within a single frame are sent. The gaps between the frames can be of variable length. Accordingly, neither baud rate nor bps refer accurately to the rate at which information is actually being transferred. 2 of 17 23.11.2009 15:50
