phone lines to send and receive data at high speeds.
Encryption

is a more powerful level of encryption than 40/64 bit.
ESSID

Equipment Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit
packets at a rate of 10 Mbps over a variety of cables.

Firewall
Electronic protection that prevents anyone outside of your network from
seeing your files or damaging your computers.
Full Duplex
A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same
time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link.
Half Duplex
A system that allows packets to transmitted and received, but not at the
same time. Contrast with full duplex.
Hub
A device that regenerates LAN traffic so that the transmission distance of
that signal can be extended. Hubs are similar to repeaters, in that they
connect LANs of the same type; however they connect more LANs than a
repeater and are generally more sophisticated.
