Network interface cards can provide a dedicated, full-
time connection to a network.

database access method. The goal of ODBC is to make it
possible to access any data from any application,
regardless of which database management system is
handling the data.
partnership An established relationship between your
HP Jornada and your PC for the purpose of
synchronizing and transferring data. Your HP Jornada
can have partnerships with up to two desktop
computers.
PCT (Private Communication Technology) A protocol
that maintains the security and integrity of Internet
communications by using encryption, authentication,
and message-authentication codes. The protocol is
application independent, and is used by Web browsers
and e-mail clients to send data via the Internet. PCT is
able to negotiate encryption keys as well as authenticate a
server before data is exchanged by the higher level application.
POP (Post Office Protocol) The first protocol used to
retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail
applications (sometimes called e-mail clients) use the
POP protocol, although some may use the newer IMAP
(Internet Message Access Protocol).
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The default method your
HP Jornada uses to communicate with the ISP network
server.
ROM (Read Only Memory) Computer memory
containing data that normally can only be read, not
written to, containing the programming that allows your
computer to start up each time you turn it on. Unlike
random access memory (RAM), the data in ROM is not
lost when power is turned off.
