PMView: The ultimate in image viewing Major update coming soon! Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: ShyGuy (shyguy@dse-computers.com) Moderator: Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** I have some more information on the Settop Box from Metabox ( http://www.metabox.de/ ) a "WebTV" that runs OS/2. "the box uses Embedded OS/2 Warp 4, FP10, the latest IP stack, Netscape 4.61, Java 1.1.8 and a lot of special applications. It is meant for usage with any TV and allows you to browse the internet with all features like Java, JavaScript, SSL, Certificates... The unique feature is BOT, a technology to receive a constant 70kpbs data stream of the standard PAL signal without harming the visible and audible TV signal. This is mainly interesting in countries like Germany where phone connections are still paid per minute and considerably expensive."
