ISP Information:
A test to see whether data has been transferred properly over a modem or to and from disk media. The sender of the data adds a check number to the end of the data being sent, and the receiver applies the same check to the data and compares the number it gets with the check number. If they don't match, the data can be requested again.
ISP Glossary:
Cyclic Redundancy Check - Hi All,_This American Life_ is a radio show produced at WBEZ in Chicago, anddoes articles on a very loose theme on a weekly basis.The latest show has one section on a producer of the show who got intobilling hell with MCI, when they changed her billing plan, apparentlywithout her knowledge. Telecom readers will appreciate it, particularly.You can listen to the show for free at http://thislife.org/, andclicking on the RA icon for "The Middle of Nowhere".I was also interested in this show for the first section, since I'vebeen trying for months to make some kind of contact so I can go toNauru in April for an amateur radio operation. I already have a planeticket from Tarawa, but can now understand why it's probablyimpossible. If any telecom readers have any connections to Nauru, I'dlike to see if I can take advantage of that, by the way.73, doug
