Abbrevations for ISDN and Data Communications
1991/01/28, Goetz Kluge Seoul
cdp!anlyyao@labrea.stanford.edu
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This list has been compiled during my work for a German semiconductor maker
at its Seoul branch. So you also will find some abbrevations related to that
products of that company. But the larger part of this collection is not rela-
ted to my employer. - During my work I got quite fed up with those many abbre-
vations which quite often are not explained in the literature. So allways when
one of these crossed my way, I filed it in this file. There might be some mis-
takes: (a) Sometimes I could not verify which of different explanaitions given
for an abbrevation was the right one. (b) I am Gerrrrman, so is my English.
