telephony
Communication, often two-way, of spoken
information, by means of electrical signals carried by wires
or radio waves. The term was used to indicate transmission of
the voice, as distinguished from telegraphy (done in {Morse
code} and usually called "{continuous wave}" or CW
transmission), radio teletypewriter (RTTY) transmission (also
called FSK for "{Frequency Shift Keying}", the modulation
scheme used by such machines), and later facimile.
