[E3-hacking] Some things I have found on the Amstrad E3 while I was pressing different buttons.

[Nick Griffin]

Weed need to know how the Amstrad E3 or E2,E1 connected to Amserve and how it active itself when it did, has anyone got that file before the server when down, properly not.. lol someone must of know about the file…? its a .config file so its a configuration file so telling the E3 what to do.

Or, possibly it refers to the "Live" release of the software, distinct from
"Development" and "Test" etc?

I also wanted to reply to this thread simply to confirm that there's at least
one other person out here who's still interested in these things (I believe I
have either 4 or 5 in total, never connected to a phone line, and I also have
a serial connector cable (somewhere), although it's still RS232, not USB (but
I think that can't be hard to change)).

Happy to help out further if I can make the time for it :)
