AppleTalk Networks
A network is a communication system that connects computers 
together to share information using network services, such as 
electronic mail, print spoolers, and file ser vers. Information is 
transferred over a cabling system using a common set of protocols. 
You can think of the cabling system as an organization of cities, 
streets, and buildings and the protocols as the method of sending 
letters or packages, as illustrated on the following pages. A cable is 
the physical medium (for example, twisted pair or coaxial) over 
which information travels from one device to another.
