Dear Dan,

What you are seeing here is an irrational response to a rational
proposal.  It is this absurd and provincial attitude that makes some
OS/2 users so irritating.  You did your very best to make good products
at a profit.  You have done this to benefit the OS/2 community and to
make a profit.  I respect this and understand it.  I do believe it is an
exercise in utter futility to try to reason with a group of people who
only want to insult and embarass you.  I, one speaking for I hope many,
appreciate your efforts.  If they want to be angry and abusive with
someone send them IBM's email address.

Good luck and God speed.

Nice to know I'm not alone in this regard.  I don't know
what it is but there are those in our own community
who simply refuse to show some positive support for
OS/2 ventures.  When I see or hear of a new OS/2
enterprise or project I know OS/2 is very much alive
and well.

Here's the scoop Stan:

InnoVal In Partnership With  IFST To Offer Low-Cost OS/2 ISP Service!

 For Immediate Release:  December 10, 1999

 IFST Inc, has joined in a business partnership arrangement with National
 DialUp Services and InnoVal Systems Solutions, to provide a low-cost
 nationwide ISP service for OS/2 users. ISP800, a private brand ISP for
 corporate customers, is inaugurating service for consumers on January 3,
 2000.

 Extra special prices are available for any OS/2 user who pre-registers for
 the service by December 30, 1999. In addition, three subscribers will be
 selected, at random, from the first 100 OS/2 users who signup. These three
 subscribers will receive free ISP service for one year until December 31,
 2000.

 Highlights of ISP800 service include:

 Your choice of

 Unlimited 56K access through an 800 dialup number or unlimited service
 using a local dialup number.

 A high performance and high capacity POP3 email mailbox

 SMTP outbound email

 Toll free 24/7 technical support

 Very low cost for OS/2 users. ISP800 may also be used with Linux, Mac, and

 Windows95/98 client platforms.

 No signup fees. You may cancel the service at the end of any month.

 Anyone who travels, uses the Internet from more than one permanent
 location, or lives in an area not supported by a local access number, is
 encouraged to use the 800 number. Performance on the 800 number is equal
 to that of local access numbers since all connections are automatically and
 instantly re-directed through a close-proximity modem. Access with the 800

 number is available anywhere in the United States where a dial tone is
 available. THERE IS NEVER AN ADDITIONAL FEE FOR USING THE 800
 NUMBER TO ACCESS ISP800. Airfone (in plane service) and some hotels do
 charge access fees when you dial an 800 number.

 ISP800 Prices:

     Regular service:   $19.95
     For all OS/2 Users:   $15.95 ***

 *** Anyone who pre-registers for the service by December 30, 1999, will
 receive the first year of service for only $11.95 per month. You must be an
 OS/2 user to pre-register at this price. Your pre-registration must be
 received by 5:00pm on 12/30/99.

 Additional email accounts are $3.95 per month. Limit is four additional
 email accounts.

 Please note: There is no direct USENET newsgroup access at this time. If
 enough OS/2 users subscribe and there is sufficient interest, ISP800 will
 add newsgroup access for OS/2 users. Deja (dejanews) and other
 web-based newsgroup services may be used in lieu of standard USENET.

 For additional information, and to signup for ISP800, please visit
 http://isp800.com/os2. In particular, see the price page and the FAQ page.
 For additional information send an email to os2isp@innoval.com.

There's MORE!

IISP800 To Offer Newsgroup Access With ISP Account!

 For Immediate Release:  December 15, 1999

 IISP800 for OS/2 Users To Include Newsgroups

 Ft. Lauderdale, Florida - December 15, 1999. AFST Inc. is pleased to
 announce that it will add high performance newsgroup service to ISP800.
 This service will be in place when ISP800 for OS/2 is inaugurated on
 January 3, 2000.

 "I am pleased with the number of pre-registrations we are receiving from
 the OS/2 community," said Randy Perez, president of AFST, "and I am
 overwhelmed by the constructive, helpful and informative suggestions we're
 getting from OS/2 users. You told us, in no uncertain terms, that
 newsgroups are vital to you because they are a lifeline to technical
 support and product information about OS/2 and OS/2 software. Keep telling
 us what we need to know to better serve you."

 AFST specializes in premium ISP services and Internet solutions. Its
 flagship ISP service, ISP800, is providing special pricing to OS/2 users
 throughout the United States. ISP800 offers 100% coverage in the United
 States and unlimited Internet access through its unique toll free 800
 number technology. Coverage is available anywhere in the U.S. where a dial

 tone is available. ISP800 also plans to add local access service throughout
 much of Canada in the near future. "We have to do it," said Perez. "I'm
 amazed at how many OS/2 users there are in Canada. We can't provide 800
 number access in Canada, yet, due to tariff regulations. But we will add
 local access numbers for as many of you as possible."

 For additional information, and to signup for ISP800, please visit
 http://isp800.com/os2. In particular, see the price page and the FAQ page.
 For additional information send an email to os2isp@innoval.com.

Great Offer!
