`
`MULTIPLE CUSTOMER GROUP OPERATION A PBX shared by several
`different companies, each having separate consoles and trunks.
`MULTIPLE DOMAINS A set of domains on a single LAN, each of which has
`its own domain-wide post office. Hosts within each domain can exchange mail by
`going through one domain post office. Hosts in different domains must generally
`send mail though two intermediary post offices: the sender’s domain post office
`and the receiver’s domain post office.
`MULTIPLE FREQUENCY-SHIFT KEYING MFSK. A form of frequency—shift
`keying in which multiple codes are used in the transmission of digital signals. The
`coding systems may use multiple frequencies transmitted concurrently or sequen-
`tially.
`
`MULTIPLE I-IOMING Connecting your phone so it can be served by one or
`several switching centers. This service may use a single directory number. It may
`also use several directory numbers. (another term for phone numbers).

`is to give you mOre ways of reaching the switched network — in case one or more
`of your local loops breaks.

`et, allowing multiple tokens on ring (but only one free token) simultaneously.
`MULTIPLE TUNED ANTENNA An antenna with connections through induc-

`tances in parallel are equal to those necessary to give the antenna the desired
`natural frequency.
