### Articles

The Editors of VOICE speak out: Incommunicado
by Christian Hennecke
  Lately, a mood change can be observed in conversations with OS/2 and eComStation users. A change for the worse, a spread of resignation and indignation. Even a number of users that one would file under “die-hard” are affected. What are the reasons for this development, and how can it be stopped?
Tales from mascot kingdom — An approach in determination of an eCS mascot
by Thomas Klein
  eComStation does not have a mascot. Thomas Klein explains why that needs to change and takes a not entirely serious look at potential candidates.
Data Exchange Between Mobile Phones and OS/2 Machines
by Ralph Hanses
  Modern mobile phones and PDAs increasingly offer features that make data exchange with a PC seem interesting. First of all, this applies to image files created by the integrated cameras. Ralph Hanses has investigated how these can be transferred to OS/2 machines.
Using Theseus to Study Memory Usage Under OS/2 — Part 2
by Sjoerd Visser
  Most OS/2 users probably have suffered from memory-related problems, even if they don't know it. With some knowledge of the mechanisms at work, the comprehensive tool Theseus from IBM can be used to investigate such matters and find possible culprits and solutions. This article is the second in a small series about OS/2 and memory.
GigaBit LAN — or How I supercharged my network
by Keith Merrington
  With more and more modern motherboards being equipped with Gigabit LAN NICs and the technology becoming cheaper in general, the question if an upgrade would be worthwhile becomes a more common one. Keith Merrington has gradually upgraded his network and reports about his experiences.
BitTorrent and OS/2 — Part 2
by Alex Taylor
  BitTorrent is a popular peer-to-peer file distribution protocol. In this followup to his original article on BitTorrent and OS/2, Alex Taylor address a few outstanding issues and takes a look at some additional BitTorrent solutions.
Driving into the future?
by Christian Hennecke
  Late last year, Scitech decided to offer its SNAP graphics technology for sale after a period of much reduced activity. This caused shock and awe among OS/2 users as it meant the end for support of current and future video hardware. Several months have passed. Now, eCo Software announced an agreement regarding development of Panorama VESA, a VESA video driver.
