Printing with OS/2 on a SOHO-LAN. Eight different
external printservers from six major manufacturers are analysed in behaviour, performance
and maintainance using NetBIOS, TCP/IP and DLC/LLC. A short reflection on printservers.
Where did they come from, why are they useful. Conclusion: The better choice, the

Remote Booting Alien Operating Systems from OS/2
-
Date/Time : Sunday - 08:30am - 09:45am

Location : Algonquin C/D

Presenter : Micho Durdevich
Part 1: Diskless workstations booting Windows
ME from OS/2 server
Part 2: Diskless Linux clients
In these lectures we shall overview a powerful
remote-boot subsystem of OS/2 Warp Server (both RIPL and DHCP/PXE modes). We shall
discuss how to use and modify this technology, in order to enable complete control
and management of Windows and Linux (thin and fat) clients from OS/2 Warp Server.
In particular, we shall explain in detail how to enable remote-booting of diskless
Linux workstations, and diskless Windows Millennium Edition systems, from OS/2 Warp
Server. Finally, we shall explain how to convert an eComStation system into a powerful
remote-boot server, that supports diskless Win32, Linux and OS/2 clients.
Web site development : What I wish I had known before starting
-
Date/Time : Sunday - 08:30am & Monday - 11:00am
-
Location : Algonquin A/B
-
Presenter : Dr. Jeffrey Race
Written by a survivor, this presentation covers
what I wanted to know before starting but could find nowhere, nor have ever seen
since. This is not a presentation on website design or html coding (though suggestions
will be offered on both). Rather it covers the big and little issues that need to
be addressed before starting, what are the options, and what are the tools and utilities
you can use (many OS/2, but others online or on other platforms).
Issues include html declaration level, use of CSS
and frames, accessibility standards, browser compatibility, user friendliness, security,
search engine placement, aesthetics, and legalities.
Utilities and tools include code validators, link
checkers, browser validators, color-blindness evaluators, image optimizers, search
facilities, coding tools and tutorial resources.
This is basically a management overview but you
may find this useful regardless of whether you are managing a team for a company
or a one-man-show (i.e. doing it all yourself).
Exterminating Spammers Step-by-Step (Really!)
-
Date/Time : Saturday - 11:00 am & Monday - 09:45am

Location : Algonquin A/B

Presenter : Dr. Jeffrey Race
The presentation offers a fun-filled, educational
and socially useful procedure to really go after spammers, rather than just using
filters or hitting the delete key. Techniques focus on analyzing the upload path,
analyzing the return path, proper channels for lodging complaints, proper wording,
issues of legal recourse, supportive utilities and newsgroups, and the bigger picture
of what can ultimately (and practically) be done to stop spam. Some OS/2 tools are
used but this is mainly for those of us who are hurt by spam (everybody-because
we can't put our e-mail addresses on websites or open newsgroup posts) and who have
a few minutes daily to work out our aggressions on social vermin rather than kicking
our dog or smashing our keyboard.
