I can contribute to it, but not necessary improve on it :-)
A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is referred to as a semi-protected meeting point
for allowing others to access your network. Typically the DMZ is outside of
your network firewall. Some other example applications a DMZ serves are
vendor or partner access network, publically accessible servers (ftp and
bastion hosts).
It is usually distinctly separated from the actual Intenet connection
(sometimes called the 'dirty net') by a filtering device (router or
firewall) with some protection but also liberal access policy configured
into it.
The AUX port on a router is the auxilliary RS-232 port, and can be used for:
connecting a modem so that the router can be accessed via a dial-up
connection from a terminal, PC, or another router,
connecting a terminal so that the router can be accessed via an ASCII
terminal or PC running terminal emulation,
connecting a modem so that the router can access another host or router for
dial backup
