| Firewall and VPN documentation (from Alex Taylor) |
| Original source: by Alex Taylor on comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip and comp.os.os2.misc
I've written an INF document describing how to configure and use the built-in MPTS firewall and VPN feature. It has been uploaded to Hobbes. Feedback and/or error reports are appreciated. WHAT IS THE BUILT-IN FIREWALL? The MPTS firewall feature is included in MPTS v5.3/TCP/IP v4.1 and up, and is one of OS/2's best-kept secrets. Until now, it has had no documentation (or even official acknowledgement) besides some sparse and incomplete notes scattered amongst various RedBooks. Many people probably don't even know it exists. This feature includes IP packet filtering and IPSec tunnel functionality, both inherited from the AIX SecureWay Firewall product. (The code wasported over from the AIX as part of the 32-bit TCP/IP stack; probably for the sake of providing the dynamic IPSec tunnel client, which is the only part of it to have an actual GUI interface). With these features, OS/2 is capable of functioning as a VPN host, or even as a basic firewall. The more advanced features of SecureWay, such as NAT or SOCKS server functionality, are not available in the MPTS firewall. -> Hobbes-Search: firewall_doc_v10.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| Photo quality printing under eCS and OS/2 (from Mark Dodel) |
I recently purchased an Epson Photo 820 printer which works very well under eCS-OS/2 with the EPOMNI3 driver from IBM Japan. The print quality for photos is about as good as on windows (so I'm told) or a Mac (I have the parallel port connected to an eCS machine and the USB to an iMac). But the driver utilities (nozzle check, head alignment, head cleaning) don't work with this printer/driver combination and the print quality tops out at 1440x720 while the printer is capable of 2880x720 DPI. So I have started an email survey to see what if any interest there is in getting this printer better supported. I am particularly interested in responses from anyone that would use this printer in a commercial/business application or setting, but replies from anyone truly interested in needing a photo quality printer under eCS-OS/2 are also appreciated.

| Turn OS/2-eCS games to Open Source (from Martin Iturbide) |
| Im currently working on my site and trying to get in touch with more OS/2-/eCS games authors to make their old OS/2-eCS games Open Source. Making their games open source will help other developers in the community to learn from the code and possible continue this projects.
Right now Im listing all OS/2-eCS Open Source games. So, if you know any game developer of an unsupported, abandon, new, old, nice or ugly OS/2-eCS game, ask them kindly to open source their game under any license he/she prefers, and let me know so I can package it and put it on my site. Plus you can always tell me if Im missing an OS/2 game on my site, or any other sugestions. -> URL: http://www.os2world.com/games/html/opensource.html -> comments: 5 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
