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.

Utilization is checked every minute and the last hour of activity is graphed. Software: OS/2 2.0, LAPS with 802.2 interface Hardware: Adapters that support ring utilization 16/4 ISA-16 (P/N 73G2032 F/N 7462) 16/4 Adapter/A (Shorty) (P/N 74F9410 F/N 0149) LANStreamer MC 16 (P/N 59G8998 F/N 8998) LANStreamer MC 32 (P/N 92F8942 F/N 8942) T/R Credit Card (P/N 0933462 F/N 8072) *Note: MAC driver 1.20.07 or higher required Valid parameters for RINGUTIL are: /a=[0\|1\|2\|3] - default is 0 The adapter number to run the program on /b - default if off Beep if utilization exceeds high or low values /d=[0..100] - default is 0 Amount of change in utilization before it is written to the log file. This limits the size of the log file. Specifying this option automatically sets logging (/w) on. /h=[0..100] - default is 100 Specifies the utilization high threshold /l=[0..100] - default is 0 Specifies the utilization low threshold /w - default is off Log utilization to a file. The log file resides in the same directory as the executable program and is named ringutil.log. This file is overwritten each time the program is started.
