Data Terminal Equipment          (DTE) A device which acts as the       source and/or destination of data and which controls the       communication channel.   DTE includes terminals, computers,       {protocol converters}, and {multiplexors}.          DTE is usually connected via an {EIA-232} {serial line} to       {Data Communication Equipment} (DCE), typically a {modem}.   It       is necessary to distinguish these two types of device because       their connectors must be wired differently if a       "straight-through" cable (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 etc.)       is to be used.   DTE should have a male connector and should       transmit on pin three and receive on pin two.   It is a curious       fact that many {modems} are actually "DTE" according to the       original standard.          (1995-02-28)

Data Terminal Ready          (DTR) The wire in a full {RS-232} connection       that tells the {Data Communication Equipment} (DCE, typically       a {modem}) that the {Data Terminal Equipment} (DTE, typically       a computer or {terminal}) is ready to transmit and receive       data.          (2000-04-05)

data transfer rate          (Or "throughput") The ammount of {data}       transferred in one direction over a link divided by the time       taken to transfer it, usually expressed in bits or bytes per       second.          Where data transfer is not continuous throughout the given       time interval, the data transfer rate is thus an average rate       that will be lower than the peak rate.   The peak or maximum       possible rate may itself be lower than the {capacity} of the       communication channel used if the channel is shared, or part       of the signal is not considered as data, e.g. {checksum} or       {routing} information.          The other important characteristic of a channel is its       {latency}.          [Is this correct?]          (2001-05-22)

DATATRIEVE          A query and report system for use with DEC's VMS system (RMS,       VAX Rdb/VMS or VAX DBMS).

Ditto Drive          The Ditto {tape drives} range in capacity       from 120 {megabytes} to 1.6 {gigabytes} ({data compression}       can roughly double these figures).   The newer devices are       designed for special tapes, though they will read standard       tape types.          The largest of tape stores up 3.2 {GB}.   Using an enhanced       {floppy drive} card the transfer rate approaches the claimed       19 {MB}/minute.   External {parallel} port versions are also       available.          {Compatibility details       (http://www.iomega.com/support/techs/ditto/3040.html)}.          (1997-03-26)
