ISP Information:
Because of the amount of signals that SCSI format sends through small wiring, termination is required. The termination is accomplished by using resistors across certain signal wires. If the chain were not terminated, the signals would bounce off the end of the chain and cause interference with real signals.

In some of the areas nonessential service waslimited to better serve the public safety and public healthcaregroups.Now, I have friends in Pensacola, they survived the storm with littledamage to their house, but their electricity is out and they arerunning a generator for essential items like a refrigerator andmicrowave. Their phone service is out - as well as their broadbandconnection. So, VoIP telephone service doesn't continue to functionin their instance, but the cell phone works. So, the cellular phonecompany could write a press release telling the world how "traditionaltelephone service, including VoIP" failed and the day was saved byAT&T/Nextel/Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon or whatever carrier happened towrite the blurb.Rodgers Platt
