A signal as generated inside your computer is made up of what exactly?I gather its carrier is 3 or 8 volts depending on make of computer but what exactly are the properties of this signal ,,is it just an intermittent electrical pulse made up of on/off binary digits?

You gathered wrong. Carriers only apply to data transmission.
but what exactly are the properties of this signal ,,is it just an intermittent electrical pulse made up of on/off binary digits?
It is varying electrical voltages that make up a binary signal - On or off. The actual voltages vary depending on whether you are using TTL or CMOS logic. TTL if 5 volts. CMOS can be between 3 volts and 15 volts.
But this only applies your computer. The data going down a telephone line or a network connection is completely different beyond the scope of this forum to explain.

Good 'ol Dave.
Just when I needed some comic relief.
Let's guess... WHAT signal
