Dictionary for learning Internet industry terms

T-1 : A dedicated line connection capable of transmitting data at 1,544,000 bits per second. With maximum theoretical capacity, a T-1 line can move a megabyte in less than 10 seconds. This is still not enough for full-screen fullscreen video, which requires at least 10,000,000 bits per second. T-1 lines are usually used to connect large local area networks to the Internet.
T-3 : A dedicated line connection capable of transmitting data at 44,736,000 bits per second. This is more than enough to create a full-screen fullscreen video.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol): It is a set of protocols that define the Internet. TCP/IP software, originally developed for the UNIX operating system, is now included in all major types of computer operating systems. To really be online, TCP/IP software must be installed on your computer.
Telnet : Telnet is an Internet protocol that allows you to connect to another computer on the Internet. After entering the name and password to log in to the remote computer, you can enter commands that will be executed as if you were entering them directly on the remote computer.
Terminal: A device that allows you to send commands to a computer in another location. At a minimum, this usually means a keyboard, a display screen, and some simple schematics. You will usually use terminal software on a personal computer - the software pretends to be a physical terminal and allows you to enter commands on a computer elsewhere.
Terminal server: A special purpose computer that has space for connecting multiple modems on one side and connecting to a local network or host machine on the other side. Thus, the terminal server performs the work of responding to calls and transmits connections to the appropriate node. Most terminal servers can provide PPP or SLIP services if they are connected to the Internet.
Toolbar: A row, column, or block of on-screen buttons or icons that activate certain program functions. For example, the standard toolbar in Word includes buttons to change text to italics, bold, or other styles.
Trojan Horse: A computer program is either hidden inside another program or disguises itself as something it is not in order to get potential users to run it. For example, a program that looks like a game or an image file, but actually performs a different function. The term "Trojan horse" comes from a possibly mythical military ploy used by the Greeks sometime between 1500 and 1200 BC.
Troll: A person who regularly posts false arguments, flames, or personal attacks in a newsgroup, discussion list, or email just to anger someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls can be recognized by the fact that they have no real interest in exploring the topic under discussion - they just want to take the bait. Trolls do not show any redeeming characteristics, and therefore they are recognized as the lowest form of life on the web, for example: "Oh, don't pay attention to him, he's just a troll."
