must be restarted from the beginning.

HDLC
====
High-level Data Link Control. A bit-oriented, synchronous protocol
that ensures transmission error checking by means of line control
information bits. For high-speed communi- cations protocols, line
control information bits are placed in a frame at a distinctive
place, have no relation to alphabet sets, and are used for control
purposes. When a frame is received by the destination DTE, checks
are made to ensure that all information bits are present. Error frames
are detected and retransmitted automatically. HDLC protocol places
these bits in a standard format within the frame; therefore, error
checking is conducted in less time and with fewer errors.

Hunt Group
==========
A set of dial-up lines; when a call is made to the pilot number

can also apply to outgoing calls. Also called rotary.
