- X2:
A technology developed by U.S. Robotics (now 3COM) for delivering data
rates up to 56 Kbps over plain old telephone service (POTS). It was long
believed that the maximum data transmission rate over copper telephone wires
was 33.6 Kbps, but X2 achieves higher rates by taking advantage of the fact
that most phone switching stations are connected by high-speed digital
lines. X2 bypasses the normal digital-to-analog conversion and sends the
digital data over the telephone wires directly to your modem where it is
decoded.
- XML: (eXtensible
Markup Language)
Like HTML, XML is a markup language, but unlike HTML, it is not limited
to Web documents. XML lets Web developers and designers create customized
tags that offer greater flexibility in organizing and presenting information
than is possible with the older HTML document coding system.
