In this coming topic, I am going to give some basic introduces on what is Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), digital subscriber line (DSL), and universal serial bus (USB) standards. It explains how each standard enables device communication, as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

ISDN overview
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) refers to a set of communication protocols proposed by telephone companies to permit telephone networks to carry data, voice, graphics, music, and video. ISDN was developed to permit faster access over existing telephone systems without the additional call setup time. It enables the simultaneous transmission of voice and data signals using end-to-end digital connectivity. (more…)

An XBRL taxonomy is a document or set of documents defining a specific information set that can be reported using the XBRL specification. It assigns unique tags to specific accounting elements such as gross profit or price/earnings ratio.

After understand on how to implementing unix part 1, currently we are look into detail on

X terminals
If you are running UNIX on a central high-spec computer and connecting to it from a group of less powerful terminals – as is the case with mainframe systems – you can install the X Window System on the terminals. This allows the terminals to access the central computer and run applications on it. It provides terminal users with a graphical interface they can use to interact with these applications.

Because X terminals do not need to run any applications apart from the basic UNIX operating system, the X Window System and basic utilities, they don’t need to have large amounts of memory and hard disk space. Therefore they’re a good way of reusing obsolete PCs. For example, a computer with a 486 processor, 16 MB of memory, and 200 MB of disk space would be an adequate X terminal. (more…)
