THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

You are working for a company that has a network application for accessing a database of

corporate profiles. From your computer workstation, a request for a profile travels over the

corporate local area network to a modem. The modem, using DSL, connects to the Internet

and finally into the database service. The database service is essentially a modem and a

mainframe computer. Create a table (or draw a figure) that shows every time data or

signals are converted to a different form in this process. For each entry in the table, show

where the conversion is taking place, the form of the incoming information, and the form of

the outgoing information.
