  Answering some of those questions:
  
  1. _____ is a communication path between 2 nodes.
  
  2. PC + LAN Card = _____.
  
  3. Star topology is popular for LANs.
  
  4. In serial transmission, the bits of each byte are sent along a single path one after another.
  
  5. In synchronous transmission mode, bits are transmitted at a fixed rate.
  
  6. FTP is the standard protocol for EDI.
  
  7. In a simplex communication mode, data flows in one direction only.
  
  8. In an half-duplex communication mode, data can be transmitted back and forth between 2 stations, but in one direction only, at any given point of time.
  
  9. Internet transmission is based on TCP/IP protocols.

  I'm wondering seeing at the last answer. Why wired type of modems should not be used in laptops?
  
  Isn't the protocol acts a communication path between nodes?

  protocols are standards based on which the communication is based. So I would not consider communication path as protocol. It might rather be a simple 'connection' between two hosts which can be addressed as a communication path
  Intranet is within any given network communication. Consider this scenario - you are accessing a server on internet through your home computer, can you call this a intranet?? Yes you might access your default gateway int he process , but that's where the intranet logic ends.
  The question doesnot explicitly limit to such connections.
  
  I did not understand the question PC+LAN card, all Pcs have LAN card, be it wired or wireless, else how would it connect to network? The question is quite confusing for me.
  
  Both wired(the RJ 45 jack) and wireless modems are used in a laptop I suppose.

  You can use Wired too... But internal modems with laptops are wireless... Why laptops? Free of Wired stuff na?
  
  Protocol is just a set of rules... It is not a communication path! 😲 What mad you think like this?

  1 - Simple Answer?
  2, 10 - Feels somewhat not okay...
  6 - The EDI standards were designed to be independent of communication and software technologies. EDI can be transmitted using any methodology agreed to by the sender and recipient. This includes a variety of technologies, including modem (asynchronous and synchronous), FTP, e-mail, HTTP, AS1, AS2, etc.

  Got this by googling -
  
  

  PCMCIAor Laptop Modems : This is a "card"-type modem that can be used only with a laptop. If you have both a laptop and a desktop PC, you might want to purchase a USB modem instead, since it can be used with either type. For simplicity and ease in traveling, a PCMCIA modem is the best choice. Please note PCMCIA modem can be used on laptop only, but USB modem can be used on both laptop and desktop. The main advantage of this modem is you can bring it together with you laptop easily and connect everywhere in broadband coverage. The main drawback is only one laptop/computer can connect to internet at any time if you only have one modem.
