Personal Assignment 1

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.
