The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites all interested computer users to attend the October meeting:

.. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2000 7:00 - 10:00 PM
.. The Episcopal Academy, 376 N. Latches Lane, Merion, PA

*** OCTOBER FEATURE PRESENTATION ***
.. -- TCP/IP NETWORKING DEMYSTIFIED! --

At the October 25th meeting, SIG member gurus David Moskowitz and David Gentzler will present "TCP/IP Networking Demystified". This was originally scheduled for the September meeting, but was postponed due to an emergency in David Moskowitz's family that evening. We'll try again this month.

In last year's networking presentation, David ~David took us on a tour of networking with NETBIOS. But this time around, they are going to give TCP/IP the same in-depth exposure. The September meeting will cover everything you need to know about TCP/IP from installation to setup of a TCP/IP network in your home or office.

They will cover the difference between the TCP/IP stacks and the applications, how to print, share files, etc, assigning names to computers, dial-up versus broadband, and more.

If you access the Internet or want to know how to set up a network without NETBIOS or whatever else, this is definitely a not-to-be-missed session.

Other agenda items include SIG business matters, Warpstock 2000 report, OS/2 news, new software releases, Q&A session ~raffles. An OS/2 system will be on hand for demos of OS/2, Java, Internet, etc. as time permits. Free light refreshments will be available.

Mark the date and time: Wednesday, October 25th, at 7:00pm, to hear about all the new and exciting developments, or if you have questions about OS/2 Warp and Java. OS/2 SIG meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests and all others interested in learning about OS/2 and associated Java technology.

Linksys Routers

Our presenter will be Chris Chapman of Linksys showing us their routers. You'll remember Chris from our July meeting when he got a little time during the Verizon DSL presentation. This month he'll have the floor all to himself, so expect him to cover a lot more territory.

After the main meeting presentation, we'll have Q&A, a raffle, and then the Saturday SIG meetings:

General Interest Group: An interesting program is being prepared by SIG leader Tony Butka. The previously planned presentation on PostScript file processing using GhostScript and GhostView will be presented at the November GIG meeting.

Programming SIG: Will continue with their Adopt-an-App project, Newsharvest.

How to get to Grace Baptist Church:

The Grace Baptist Church in Anaheim is at 2528 W. La Palma Ave. It is on the south side of the street (about 200 ft. E of Magnolia). It's a 2-story office building close to La Palma Ave. with the address of 2528 up near the roof. (It's between 2 large apartment complexes and can be easily missed). Look for the SCOUG banner and/or a sign with the words "New Hope Christian Center". Turn in (south) there. Park in the front lot. For the general meeting, go up the stairs in the middle of the building along the parking-lot side. For the Help Desk ~Networking SIG, go in at the middle on the ground floor and down the hall to your right.

Freeway exits: (subject to change due to freeway construction on I-5 and the 91 freeways):

1) North I-5 (from central/south Orange County): take the Brookhurst/La Palma exit and turn left (going west over I-5). The church will be on your left side.

2) South I-5 (from Los Angeles): take the Beach Blvd. exit and turn right going south. Turn left on La Palma Ave; after you pass Magnolia, the church will be on your right side.

3) West 91 freeway (from the Inland Empire, etc): take the Magnolia exit and turn left going south. Turn left on La Palma Ave; the church will be on your right side.

4) East 91 freeway: take the transition to I-5 south. Stay to your right and take the Magnolia exit. Turn right going south. Turn left on La Palma Ave; the church will be on your right side.
