Message-ID: <10686@accuvax.nwu.edu> Date: 9 Aug 90 21:02:52 GMT Sender: news@accuvax.nwu.edu Organization: CDI Technologies Inc., Grand Rapids, MI Lines: 23 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 10, Issue 557, Message 2 of 9 I've only been following comp.dcom.telecom for a short while now, and I think I've done pretty well understanding at least some of what is being discussed, but all of these acronyms (POTS, CO, COCOT, etc.) confuse me. Is there a central glossary repository somewhere? Could someone send me something to help me understand more of this? [insert any other related questions here]? And, of course ... Thanks in advance.
