ROM	Read-Only Memory.
router	A device that forwards IP packets to their
	destination. Also called a gateway.
RPRINTER	Remote Printer. A Novell print method
	where the NIC waits for jobs to be sent to it
	from a defined PSERVER.
SNMP	Simple Network Management Protocol. A
	standard protocol used to monitor network
	devices called “SNMP agents.”
socket	TCP connection between two hosts
	consisting of a source and destination TCP
	port number at each end.
subnet mask	A binary value used to divide IP networks
	into smaller sub-networks or subnets. This
	mask is used to help determine whether IP
	packets need to be forwarded to other
	subnets.
TCP/IP	Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
	Protocol. Suite of protocols that act as the
	base protocol for the Internet.
TCP port	A logical connection point in the software
	of a TCP host or device. When two IP
	devices talk, they establish a socket which
	consists of a source and destination TCP
	port number on both ends.
telnet	Command and protocol to establish a
	terminal connection between two hosts on
	an IP network.
UTP	Unshielded Twisted Pair. A cable used for
	telephone and computer-to-computer
	connections.
