An IS auditor needs to link his/her microcomputer to a
mainframe system that uses binary synchronous data
communications with block data transmission. However, the IS

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.
