A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

This is a very simple domain name server for OS/2. It is intended primarily for small networks which access the Internet via a dialup connection (where another, real name server will also be used).

The name database is, simply, the HOSTS file normally used by the OS/2 name resolution library. However, if the dialup connection is active, then another name server (typically that at the ISP) can be consulted as well.

There are other, more sophisticated, name server programs available; this one is, however, small, fast and free!

The package includes the following:

The NAMED.EXE executable program
The associated README.TXT file
A necessary DLL
A documentation file
A sample configuration file
Source code
