| Alternative TLDs also for OS/2 users (from Joerg Sievers) |
| The German Heise-Ticker reported that the German Chaos Computer Club e.V. (CCC) does not like the power of the ICANN and the root-server from Network Solutions which handles all TLDs (Top Level Domains) in the internet. The CCC will create a new, alternative world with own TLDs. They would be not the first in the community: A well known guy, Paul Garrin from Ney York, serves over 100 alternative domains on his Name.Space service which includes TLDs which are not stored on the root-server from Network Solutions. If you are interested in such services they also have an instruction for OS/2 users to use their DNS. -> URL: http://name.space.xs2.net/switch/os2.html? -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

It looks like there are some real gems in there, including a lot of MIDI stuff (who would have guessed?!?!). Maybe someone who can read Japanese and English can translate these pages? -> URL: http://rd.vector.co.jp/vpack/filearea/os2/index.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

The VOICE Editors would like to thank everyone who made the December VOICE Newsletter possible, especially the volunteers who worked on translating the Newsletter to/from German. We will continue to expand this support with the help of our volunteers. If you can help with the German version there is a mailing list at eGroups. Once we are comfortable with the German version of the Newsletter, we would consider expanding to other languages if there is interest and volunteers to help with the project. If you are interested in pursuing this please contact me at editor@os2voice.org Together we put the International in VOICE. :-) And as always, a big thank you to our writers and editors. Without them there'd be no VOICE Newsletter. Please consider writing an article for the Newsletter.
