in the current issue of Moz, Richard Ashton reviews Internet telephony and
faxing, using OzEmail's non-PC service. But Richard, did you know
about Internet faxing using off the shelf PMFax/FaxWorks and PRM/PPM/MR2 ?

NT: the future of computing.
Dr Rod Milton is one of the top forensic psychologists who assisted in
solving some of Australia's most baffling cases.
But this is one buffling case he can't figure out:
Neither Dr Milton nor his wife can understand why they cannot buy an IBM
PC with OS/2 on it.
When Mrs Milton called IBM about buying some IBM-brand PCs, and told them
she wants OS/2 on them, she was told they only come with NT. IBM rep also
told her:
"You should get NT, it's better than OS/2".
Is it better ? she asked.
"Oh yes, a lot better", she was told.

there's no professional 3D Animation or Video editing software for Warp...
So I was thinking of losing OS/2 and switching completely to Windows.
month of it... I'm back to using OS/2 for everything BUT graphics... Windows
NT 4 is nice to look at and it only locked up on me once in that time (sure
plenty of applications crashed but I've only had to press the reset button
once)...
details... so many little things in OS/2 I now realize, I was taking for
granted.
NOT multi-thread, so I can't read and reply to my mail as it's being
retrieved. I subscribe to a mailing list which I get about 200 email
messages from every day, so I want to have that ability.
not for work), as I have some peripherals that don't have NT drivers... but
the fact that 95 doesn't support HPFS (I have NT4 on a HPFS drive by the
way) and that 95 was locking up on me at least 8 times a day, while doing
things NT wouldn't have a problem with, ruled Windows 95 out as a serious
contender for my desktop.
(and of course 3D/Video applications).... but other than that, everyone
seems to be using Windows 95 - the platform I now absolutely hate because of
the instability it's shown on my PC.
voice platform.
can't remember what it was called IPDS or something...) but it's always
worked better in OS/2 than in Windows... it was always better at keeping up
with me in OS/2 than in Windows - Also, it would definitely require less RAM
etc in OS/2 than in NT (just like everything else - eg. Lotus Notes)

>business, yes, everyone is getting on the bandwagon, so don't be left in
>the dust.
the rubbish the press puts out... but, where are all the drivers? I've used
OS/2 since 2.0 beta and trying to move to NT seems so familiar when it comes
to looking for device drivers for all your peripherals... it's taken me
months to buy a flatbed scanner (the higher end SCSI scanners were out of my
budget)... and if you go into your local store here in SE QLD and ask if
something has NT drivers - you get the same look you get as when you mention
OS/2!
generally can only use it in Windows 95... seems to me 95 is the only
platform currently getting any real support... So (other than for graphics)
I've figured, If I'm going to have hassles with drivers etc in NT, I might
as well go back to Warp. With all the problems I've had with Warp, it's
still the only OS with the WPS.

IBM Ships Developer Tools for Building Java Enterprise Solutions
High-Performance Applications that Integrate the Web with I/T
developers, designed to fully integrate enterprise data with new Web
applications for e-business, are now generally available from IBM. With over
250,000 betas distributed to developers, VisualAge for Java* now debuts as
the industry's first fully integrated development environment for writing,
compiling and testing 100% Pure Java applets, JavaBeans** or applications
for the enterprise.
Java productivity aids offered through a one-year, renewable subscription
service. Each subscription entitles Java developers to receive, throughout
the year, updates of wizards, frameworks, utilities, and other cool
WebRunner technologies to simplify and speed the development of Web
applications.
next-generation "bean dipping" technology, through IBM alphaWorks. Bean
dipping technology will enable developers to customize existing JavaBeans by

article that included the subtitle, "A nimble, responsive IBM does Java with
style and speed." points out that IBM, which usually does not adopt
computing technology that it does not control, has reversed that trend by
making Java a core strategic element of its portfolio. The article in a
quote by analyst and write Amy Wohl mentions OS/2, along with network
computers, as a contributing factor to IBM's Java-readiness.
Jacqueline Emigh This basic coverage of two recent OS/2 announcements
includes some comments by Sheryl Winton, IBM Java program manager, on the
"two distinct enhancements to OS/2 Warp, the Java Developers Kit (JDK) 1.1
and a mobile user-enabled edition of Remote Access Server." Ms. Winton
explains one benefit of the remote access feature as bringing first-time
access through dial-in connections to OS/2 Warp Server clients such as
Windows NT, Windows 95 and IBM 8235.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) Client V1.03 is available now!
-----------------------
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) Client connects to a time server through the
Internet, gets the current time and adjusts the clock of your OS/2 machine
using the system DATE function.
-------------
You need Warp V3 or Warp V4 with TCP/IP or the IBM Internet Access Kit
(IAK) installed to run this software.
-----------------------------------
You can install this client on any OS/2 system which has access to the
Internet. If you are behind a SOCKS firewall, you can enable the general SOCKS
gateway of Warp 4 since this NTP client doesn't offer the usage of a SOCKS
gateway.
All those clients (LAN-Requesters) adjust their time using the following
LAN-Requester command:

The TCP/IP Portscanner V1.40 is available now!
-----------------------
This software scans well known TCP/IP ports of one or more servers for active
services. You can specify a single server name (e.g. www.myserver.com) or a
range of IP-Addresses (e.g. from 192.85.184.12 to 192.85.184.66). Active port
numbers are being listed with the name of the service commonly used on this
port. You can also take in inventory of your IP addresses using the new PING
function for an entire range of IP-addresses
-------------
You need Warp V3 or Warp V4 with TCP/IP or the IBM Internet Access Kit
(IAK) installed to run this software.
-----------------------------------
The TCP/IP Portscanner scans all ports
listed in the SERVICES file stored in the ETC directory of your local
workstation. While Warp V4 has a usable SERVICES file, Warp V3 still has a
very old version without important services like HTTP (WWW) or POP. Thus, Warp
V3 users MUST update their SERVICES file with a newer version from a Warp V4
machine or downloaded one from the Technical Support Page at
http://www.dataline.ch/~rch/portscan
stops scanning after 15 seconds.
---------------
It is not necessary to run a server using the default port; it is also
possible to have a server using different port numbers. This is usually done
when running more than one server (of the same type) on the same machine (such
as two HTTP- Servers on the same system). One of those two servers must switch
from the default HTTP-Port 80 to a different number (let's say to 1234). Users
can still access this server using an URL such as
"http://www.myserver.com:1234". Since 1234 is not a standard port number, it
is not listed in the SERVICES file and will not be detected. Even if you
manually add port 1234 to the SERVICES file, we still can't detect the type of
server. This could be a HTTP-Server (moved from port 80), a NNTP-Server (moved
from port 119) or even a Time-Server (moved from port 37).
-------
This is not a hacker tool! It is unfriendly (and maybe even unlawful) to scan
other people's servers. This software tries to CONNECT to the target server
using various TCP/IP port numbers. Be aware that your IP-Address is being
logged on the target system. The purpose of this software is to scan your OWN
systems to have an overview on what servers are running and therefore need
surveillance or additional protection. This is very important if you aren't
behind a firewall: One single (commonly unknown) TELNET- or REXEC-Server could
grant access to your entire network, including services such as NETBIOS, using
the authority of the workstation user the server is running on.

We are pleased to announce that the long awaited OS/2 port of the WaterGate
Internet/Usenet/FidoNet shareware mail handling package has been included as
part of the new 0.93 beta release! WaterGate is a mature "tosser" and gateway
package that can process files received via popular UUCP, NNTP, SMTP, and POP3
clients and FTN mailers and distribute mail, news, and echomail to multiple
downlinks, as well as gating between RFC and FTN formats. It also has basic
mailing list functionality and more.
