Made With OS/2 Campaign Back On-line.
The Made With OS/2 campaign has been reincarnated. Check it out at http://www.cybermail.net/~madeos2.
It promotes "cyberspace resources" created/powered/fueled by OS/2. So far there are 33 sites and growing. The "cosmetics" of the web page are far from being done, but the main database engine works. Search features as well as a variable display of sites, and perhaps a "go to random site" button are currently under development.
A note though, the sites listed do not necceserly deal with
OS/2, actually, most of them do NOT deal with OS/2, which is
good. It shows that OS/2 can be used for non-computer
oriented tasks.

VOICE Speak Up Meeting Notes.
At VOICE's May 21 meeting, Robert Mauro, President of Cybercom, talked about AccuCount/2, a new business management and accounting software suite for OS/2. Cybercom has been writing custom apps for various PC platforms for about 8 years now, particularly business apps. Particularly, they have written accounting related software for Marine Midland Bank, Barnes & Noble, and clients in the printing industry. Therefore, they thought that an accounting application, which is sorely needed in the OS/2 market, should be their first application.
Cybercom is aiming AccuCount/2 at small as well as large businesses. AccuCount/2 will come with the following modules: G/L, Inventory, Sales, Contact Manager, Banking, Reports, and Utilities and there will be a payroll upgrade and multiuser version. The program also takes advantage of OS/2's multithreading and multiprocessing support for background functions, screen updating, and printing and Cybercom is actively working with the developers of FaxWorks, PMMail, and MR/2 in order to integrate AccuCount/2 with these programs.
AccuCount/2 will be released for beta testing 3 weeks after the demo; by this time, a demo should be available at http://www3.smart.net/~cybercom/Accu.html. Pricing for AccuCount/2 is as follows: suggested retail pricing is $125, with street prices expected to be around $99-119. Currently, during the pre-beta period, special pricing is in effect (visit the Cybercom homepage for details).

Internet Gate for OS/2 Updated.
The new version 1.10 of Internet Gate for OS/2 was released today. Among small bugfixes, the following new additions where made to the program:
Automatic dialer
Now Internet gate can automatically connect to your Internet Service
Provider when it senses that someone on your LAN is going to navigate
the Internet. It can also disconnect the phone line after a
configurable amount of idle time, resulting in a considerable saving in
the phone line bills.
DNS (Domain Name Server) proxy
With this new proxy server, Internet Gate can act as your LAN's domain
name server. This is not just a 'slimmed-down' DNS server, suitable for
your LAN's use only, rather it is a fully operable DNS server that maps
to your ISP's DNS server.
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) proxy gateway
Need to say more?
Internet Gate is a multiple proxy and gateway server, for the OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 operating system, that allows computers on a Local Area Network (LAN) without internet connection to be connected to the internet through a single Dial-Up or ISDN connection.
Stay tuned for next release's planned additions:
HTTP caching
DNS caching
Fully configurable mapped links
More configurable proxy servers
To download the new release and for more information, check out the web page: http://www.execpc.com/~marco/.

WaCaWaKa (the OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kit for all)!
Have you always wanted to set up your own web site? Start an online business? Share documents with your friends and colleagues?
Don't miss this special promotion!
IBM would like more visibility for one of the most popular Internet web platforms, OS/2 Warp. And, as web sites grow, often they move to the powerful OS/2 Warp Server Advanced SMP. We'd like more people to experience web serving with OS/2 Warp.
If you're one of the first 80 (eighty) people to respond, you could be eligible for a no-charge copy of IBM's OS/2 Warp Connect Version 3 with a special web kit. This OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kit consists of:
- IBM OS/2 Warp Connect Version 3 ("red box")
- Instructions for downloading IBM's Internet Connection Server for OS/2 Warp
- Recommended fixes, tips, and additional instructions
- OS/2 Warp "banner" logo on diskette
Painless Terms and Conditions
So what's the catch? IBM would like you to set up your own web server on your own PC. This web server can be on the public Internet or on a private company intranet (with at least 200 users). Your web server should be online within 120 days of receiving the OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kit. Your web server's "point of entry" (homepage) should include the OS/2 Warp logo (and link to the IBM OS/2 Warp homepage) for not less than 12 months. You may use any web server software for OS/2 Warp, such as IBM's Internet Connection Server, IBM GoServe, Lotus Domino, Apache, etc. Finally, if your web server is on the public Internet, you must list your new site with one or more of the major Internet lookup services (IBM Infomarket, Yahoo, Lycos, Altavista, etc). If you cannot meet these terms, and you have received the OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kit, you agree to purchase one OS/2 Warp Version 4 upgrade license from IBM or your favorite IBM software reseller. (The OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kit is available only to residents of North America. Only one OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kit will be sent per company, shipping address, or individual. The Kit is non returnable, but it can be transferred.)
Bonus Prizes
In return, there is no charge for the OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kit. Also, you may choose to have your new web site judged. The top three winners, as judged by IBM, will receive a prize package of popular software titles, including IBM OS/2 Warp Version 4, IBM Antivirus for OS/2 Warp, and IBM VisualAge Java for OS/2 Warp. Winners will be judged according to creativity, usefulness and quality of content, use of open Internet standards (including Java), and integration with existing technologies. Web sites already using OS/2 Warp, anywhere in the world, are eligible to be judged. Judging is open only to public Internet sites. Decisions of the judges are final. Winners will be notified by Internet e-mail. IBM may publicize the Internet addresses of all entrants. Judging will take place approximately 120 days after the OS/2 Warp Connect Web Kits are shipped, at a time and date of IBM's choosing.

OS/2 Warp 4 Telephone Support.
Please be advised that the limited complementary telephone support for OS/2 Warp 4 is no longer available. This limited telephone support had been provided only to individual users of OS/2 Warp 4, to provide support only to a certain installed level described in the "Service and Support" card contained in the OS/2 Warp 4 package. OS/2 Warp 4 is the only IBM software product that had this limited complementary support available.
All telephone support from IBM for OS/2 Warp 4 is fee-based at this point. However, complementary support is still available through the World Wide Web at http://ps.software.ibm.com.
If you have any questions about this change you may contact IBM Software
Support at (800) 992-4777.
