Most of you probably realize this already, but the WarpCast mailing
list has been broken for a few weeks.  Apparently, BMT Micro had a
hardware failure, and that hardware was carrying several mailing
lists, including the OS/2 SuperSite lists (i.e. those that have an
atos2ss.com address).

This eGroups.com mailing list is simply a front-end for the official
WarpCast mailing list - if that list is down, then this list doesn't
get any submissions.  No one outside of BMT Micro has any idea when
their servers will be restored, and I don't know of anyone who's
actually been able to contact BMT Micro about it.

Frankly, I am surprised and disappointed that it's taking BMT Micro
longer than a month to recover from a simple hardware failure.  They
assumed ownership of the OS/2 SuperSite and related online services,
but it appears that they don't have the resources to maintain these
services properly.

If you are subscribed to other OS/2-related mailing lists and find
that they have also dried up since December, they may have been hosted
on BMT Micro's server and are also now dead.  Several of those lists
have moved to eGroups.com.

Until BMT Micro gets their act together, there are several other
online resources for OS/2 news:

1. http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/

2. http://www.os2.org/

3. http://www.os2world.com/

4. The VOICE News List, to subscribe yourself to this list, send the
following message to majormajoratos2voice.org
  
       subscribe news
       end

5. Also note there is an extensive list of OS/2 oriented mailing lists
at the VOICE site - http://www.os2voice.org/mailinglists.html

6. The comp.os.os2.announce newsgroup
