Answer / guest
Answer: D
For the IS auditor's microcomputer to communicate with the
mainframe, the IS Auditor must use a protocol converter to
convert the asynchronous and synchronous transmission.
Additionally, the message must be spooled to the buffer to
compensate for different rates of data flow.
