I had updated the site again, the most important thing added are the USB Ethernet Network Adapters that according to IBM's Device Driver On-Line Pak work under OS/2. A Drivers/Download area had been included. This only points the the last free available USB drivers. For the newer ones you need to have a paid subscription the IBM's Software Choice. I had also put some information about the "USB Resource Manager" for developer (or curious people) that want to learn more about that tool. Check it on the tools area. There had been also some little changes on the Navigation bar, etc. I'm still waiting for feedback about USB CD-ROMs and CD-RW running under OS/2!

Rest assured that Issue #10 of the IACT Quarterly Newsletter still is on-line. Highlights include operating systems e.g. FreeBSD and OS/2, the Internet 'munchies' and creative software solutions using DOS and OS/2 apps as 'leanware' examples, e.g. the new Draw-It. OS/2 is featured also in our latest IACT 24x7 Report 'Solutions for e-Mail: Some Lessons from REXX, BeOS and OS/2' focusing on compatibility, security and user choice, and introducing the new OS/2 freeware app, RexxMail, an e-mail handler developed with REXX. Visit IACT's website to find out about the possibilities of RexxMail, BeOS, OS/2, FreeBSD, leanware and much more.
