March 23, 2005
Today we are pleased to announce that we have purchased eComStation(tm)
v1.2 for use in our new server project. (
http://www.os2ecs.org/newserver.html )
This new server will host a new hobbes software repository service. The
service will provide mirroring of the existing hobbes (hobbes.nmsu.edu)
and be positioned to be available if the existing hobbes should disappear.
This strategy ensures that this important resource is protected and that
our "eggs are not in one basket".
Our decision to use eComStation(tm) as our base server solution is based
on the reliability and security of the platform. eComStation(tm) gives us
a scaleable platform that is flexible and provides excellent management
abilities. At the OS2eCS Organization we are committed to utilizing OS/2
Technologies as they provide powerful solutions for our information
technology needs.
We believe eComStation(tm) is an excellent choice for a server operating
platform. The TCP/IP stack is BSD v4.4 compliant offering a built-in fire
wall with IPSEC. The base OS/2 kernel with its highly efficient
multitasking and multithreading, provides a secure-high performance base
to run Internet Services. The upcoming release of eComStation(tm) v2.0
will offer an advanced configuration utility to unleash the power of the
built-in fire wall. With Serenity Systems International committed to
continual enhancements and support, eComStation(tm) is an excellent
choice! OpenSSH/2 and Security/2 ( http://os2.kiev.ua/en/sses.php )
combined with eComStation(tm) allow us to deploy a multi-user system,
allowing our supporting members to administer the new services with ease.
The OS2eCS Organization is a nonprofit organization chartered to support
and advocate OS/2(TM) and eComStation(tm)(TM) operating platforms using
all resources at our disposal. The OS2eCS Organization is a nonaligned
independent organization not affiliated with IBM or Serenity Systems
International.
Our organization was created to provide support services and resources to
help users effectively utilize IBM's OS/2(tm) and Serenity System's
eComStation(tm) operating platform. All are invited to join us! OS/2 and
eComStation(tm) are the premier choice for desktop and server systems on
the x86 platform, offering unmatched performance and power!
eComStation(tm) is the clear choice for today's business users who demand
productivity, ease of use, power and want to maximize their IT
investments.

Jeramie Samphere

Hello,
I just wanted to point that for some time we have a list of eComStation
preloaders on eComStation.com. I have seen the question popup quit often
of people asking where they can get eComStation preloaded on computers.
Visit the following link for companies that preload eComStation.

Forwarded message from Peter Weilbacher on Tue, 22 Mar 2005 12:04:16 UTC
Posted on news://secnews.netscape.com/netscape.public.mozilla.os2
Hi all,
As usual I have made an unofficial Mozilla 1.7.6 release available,
including MNG/JNG support and the calendar. 1.7.6 mostly adds security
fixes over 1.7.5 but also fixes the problem with addressbook exports. It
also works with the OS/2 version of enigmail from Davide's page. To make
the German language version work fully with Robert Kaiser's LanguagePack
you need the extra fix from my webpage.
Please find it on <http://weilbacher.org/Mozilla/builds.html> (you may
have to reload the frame). --
Cheers, Peter.

A new build of RexxMail is available from my web site:
<http://www.degeus.com/rexxmail/>
RexxMail is an object-oriented WPS e-mail client, written in REXX, which
uses the standard WPS user interface. It features an extensive range of
functions and options with full command-line access.
Changes in this release:
- Bugfix: In outgoing messages, long quoted-printable lines with a
high-bit code straddling the line length limit would wrap incorrectly.
- Added support for code pages 437 and 1004 in addition to 850. Other code
pages are accepted, but any characters beyond ASCII are converted to
underscores.
- High-bit characters in message object titles and search strings are now
converted to ASCII for supported code pages, and to underscores for other
code pages.
Best regards,
Marcus de Geus
