Transmission in Wires,The point at which computer communications and electronic data transmission overlap is in the transmission of data in wires. Virtually all computer communications involve the use of wire. The few exceptions are very high speed transfers using waveguides, optical fibres and radio frequencies.

Character Terminal Networks, The primary motivation for grouping the bits into characters rather than say computer words, was the early need to communicate between character-oriented devices (such as teletypes, displays and printers) and the computer. The growth of interactive computing has led to the widespread use of network

Simple Message-based Techniques,his chapter require more intelligent terminals that are capable of more complex communication, but still involve the use of a central computer system. There are two main types of device used on message-based networks: these are page mode VDUs and remote job entry stations. At the end of the chapter
