 Init Strings:
What is an Init String and What Does it Mean to Me?
NEXT       PREVIOUS
Modems use a string of characters called initialization strings the relay a series of commands to activate the modem. Init strings help two modems talk to each other, somewhat like a translation program. You can relate this to the difference between American English and The King's English dialects. For example, in the United States we call a large vehicle used to haul goods a "truck." In England, it is called a "lorry." If your modems are not speaking to each other in the same "dialect," you will not achieve a good, fast connection.

Instant Messages (IM) :  A hint ... 
Crtl + Enter is a keyboard shortcut for the Send button.

There is a difference between using REPLY and REPLY-ALL when you answer an email.

Many people prefer that you answer a "Bulk E-mail" with the "REPLY" button. This button will send your reply to only the "Sender."

Keep Public things Public & Private Things Private ...
Private IMs and E-mails should NOT go public ...
Either give a private response, or no response at all ...

NEVER post an E-mail or IM conversation to a PUBLIC MESSAGE Board.
