Glossary

Access Control List	The ACL is used for security inside of programs and
(ACL)	operating systems. For example, Windows NT uses ACLs for
	directory and file access; Lotus Domino uses ACLs for
	database access.
	An ACL contains both users and groups and what level of
	access each has. For example, you may give a regular user
	"Read" access, while a different user you could give manager
	or full access.
Authentication	The process by which a user’s identity is checked within the
	network to ensure that the user has access to the requested
	resources.
ARP	Address Resolution Protocol. An ARP protocol in which a
	router masks its identity and sends routing packets to the
	requesting host. A proxy ARP can minimize the bandwidth
	on slower WAN links.
Basic In/Out System	Chips on the motherboard of a computer contain read only
(BIOS)	memory instructions that are used to start up a computer. The
	operating system of a PC also makes use of BIOS
	instructions and settings to access hardware components such
	as a disk drive. Some BIOS/CMOS settings can be set to scan
	for viruses, causing problems for some installation programs.
Baud Rate	The baud rate is a measure of the number of symbols
	(characters) transmitted per unit of time. Each symbol will
	normally consist of a number of bits, so the baud rate will
	only be the same as the bit rate when there is one bit per
	symbol. The term originated as a measure for the
	transmission of telegraph characters. It has little application
	today except in terms of modem operation. It is
	recommended that all data rates are referred to in bps, rather
	than baud (which is easy to misunderstand). Additionally,
