ENQ
<character >
1. /enkw/ or /enk/ ENQuire. The mnemonic for ASCII character 5.
<chat >
2. An on-line convention for querying someone's availability. After opening a chat connection to someone apparently in heavy hack mode, one might type "SYN SYN ENQ?" (the SYNs representing notional synchronisation bytes), and expect a return of ACK or NAK depending on whether or not the person felt interruptible. Compare ping, finger. [Jargon File]
