Inet.Mail 1.3 -- The best mail server on OS/2 just got better! Audit Capabilities, More Spam Control, Improved Performance Visit us at http://www.hethmon.com/inetmail.html for full details. A free update for current users. ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: (secretary@os2voice.org) Moderator: Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** Official Announcement from OS/2VOICE From the Office of the Secretary: ------------------ Warpicity Speakup VOICE has arranged with Larry Finkelstein and the OS2 Central Forum to co-sponsor the Warpicity Speakup which will take place on Compuserve. Compuserve doesn't use IRC protocols, so please think of it going in along terms of our continuing mission to boldly go where no Speakup has gone before. :) Warpicity itself is a thoughtful and interesting approach to software development and distribution.. Lynn Maxson's article in the June 1999 VOICE Newsletter can be found here: http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0699H/vnewsf2.htm How to get there: Compuserve conferencing functions are available to nonmembers running either Netscape 2.02 or Communicator/2 provided Java 1.1.6 or higher is installed and correctly configured. From http://go.compuserve.com/os2central the server will redirect your browser to a page that serves as the entrance to the OS2Central Forum (The precise URL may vary depending on your location and method of connection.) From, there, click on the "Chat" button to load the Java applet. The Warpicity Speak-up session will be held in conference room 20. To get there, select 20 Warpicity from the room list and then click Enter to bring up a chat window that will look reasonably familiar. Users entering through the applet will show up as {Guests}, and will not be able to change their names. For Compuserve members only, this limitation can be overcome by logging into the conference via OS2-CIM, which is bundled in the BonusPak of every edition of Warp 3 or higher. Compuserve membership is not required to simply attend the conference. This means that this Speakup will not take place on Webbnet! However, VOICE members will be multitasking from our usual Webbnet location to assist with help and realtime instructions on how to access the Compuserve forum. We recommend that users not familiar with the technology visit the conference site ahead of time briefly to get familiar with the medium. OS/2 Warp System Requirements: OS/2 Warp 3 with IAK or OS/2 Warp 4 Java 1.1.6 runtime correctly configured or higher. (The Java version 1.0.2 provided with the base Warp 4 installation that installs by default into \JAVAOS2 will definitely not work.) Netscape Navigator 2.02 or Netscape Communicator 4.04 Minimum Fixpak 5 for Warp 4 Minimum Fixpak 37 for Warp 3 We hope everyone interested will attend. Not only would a large attendance encourage Compuserve overall to take greater notice of their OS/2 support efforts, but it also builds stronger links between our community and our friends and counterparts at OS2Central. We'll see you there. The Speakup will be held on Monday, July 12, 1999 at 8:00PM Eastern (0:00GMT). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
