	but a given Domain Name points to only one machine. For
	example, the domain names: matisse.net, mail.matisse.net,
	workshop.matisse.net can all refer to the same machine, but each
	domain name can refer to no more than one machine. Usually, all
	of the machines on a given Network will have the same thing as
	the right-hand portion of their Domain Names (matisse.net in the
	examples above). It is also possible for a Domain Name to exist
	but not be connected to an actual machine. This is often done so
	that a group or business can have an Internet email address
	without having to establish a real Internet site. In these cases,
	some real Internet machine must handle the mail on behalf of the
	listed Domain Name.
Escape Sequence	A sequence of special characters that sends a command to a
	device or program. Typically, an escape sequence begins with an
	escape character, but this is not universally true.
	An escape sequence is commonly used when the computer and
	the peripheral have only a single channel in which to send
	information back and forth. If the device in question is "dumb"
	and can only do one thing with the information being sent to it
	(for instance, print it) then there is no need for an escape
	sequence. However most devices have more than one capability,
	and thus need some way to tell data from commands.
Ethernet	A LAN cable-and-access protocol that uses twisted-pair or
	coaxial cables and CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access
	with Collision Detection), a method for sharing devices over a
	common medium. Ethernet runs at 10 Mbps; Fast Ethernet runs at
	100 Mbps. Ethernet is the most common type of LAN.
Flash	Flash refers to a type of memory that can be erased and
	reprogrammed in units of memory known as blocks rather than
	one byte at a time; thus, making updating to memory easier.
flow control	A method of controlling the amount of data that two devices
	exchange. In data communications, flow control prevents one
	modem from "flooding" the other with data. If data comes in
	faster than it can be processed, the receiving side stores the data
