Selman) Newsgroups: comp.dcom.modems Subject: Error correction vs Error control Message-ID: <1990Dec6.115526.8595@nntp-server.caltech.edu> Date: 6 Dec 90 11:55:26 GMT Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena Lines: 6 I am confused about the terminology. Is there a modem with real error correction scheeme, say, 2 errors detection one error correction? Or do they just retransmit after one error detection? Thanks, - Fernando
