`
`1) In data communications, a terminal is any device that terminates one end (sender or receiver) of a
` communicated signal. In practice, it is usually applied only to the extended end points in a network,
` not central or intermediate devices. In this usage, if you can send signals to it, it's a terminal.

`
`2) In telephony, the term Data Terminal
` Equipment (DTE) is used to describe the
` computer end of the DTE-to-DCE (Data
` Communications Equipment) communication
` between a computer and a modem.
`
`3) In computers, a terminal (sometimes qualified
` as a "dumb" terminal) is an end-use device
` (usually with display monitor and keyboard) with
` little or no software of its own that relies on a
`mainframe or another computer (such as a PC server) for its "intelligence." IBM's 3270 Information
` Display System was a widely-installed system of such terminals in corporations. Many applications
` designed for the 3270 or other "dumb" terminals are still in use at PCs that emulate or act like a
` 3270. The VT-100 from Digital Equipment Corporation is another example of a widely-used so-
`called "dumb" terminal. A variation of this kind of terminal is being revived in the idea of the thin
` client or network computer.
