Anyone who uses the ams-delta-install script will have a NAND backup - there are 6 partitions and it backed them all up to the install USB stick. Don't ask me what they were or if I happen to still have my copies though! I didn't spend a lot of time looking at the original Amstrad firmware, I was more focussed on getting a clean Linux install up and running. J. -- Sleep?

HI I have a Amstrad E3 Emailer that's deactivated and I was wondering..
by Nick Griffin 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Is there anyway of activating it, I still have it connected to my phone line because I can still make calls on it.. 😉 If you pick up the Handset then hold down [EMAIL] button for about 3 to 4 secs or until it says “Dialling for Mail” comes up, then it will abort it and say ”Aborting email call.. Please Wait...” it will take about 18 seconds then the phone will come on and you will hear a dial tone.. 😊 Handsfree works too so you can press the HANDSFREE button if you need too, but you have to dial the number you want, Address book still don’t work. Anyone know of away of activating the E3 without there service or Amserve serve, how did they test the E3 at the factory, they had to get into it to test the E3s features and test the firmware make sure it works properly, I wonder if there is a set of keys you need to press to activate it while you power it on, probably not.. :( ??? I was thinking anyone know how the firmware works, like how the E3 connected to the Amserve server, I know it used 0909 numbers for each server it would connect to, do the E3 use normal dialup protocol, would there be a way of using a 56 modem on a PC and get the E3 to connect to it through its modem and make are own server in a way, so like pc to pc connection but through a dial in server so if you wanted to connect a 90s PC that has win 95/98 on and no network and connect it to WinXP through its dialup 65k modem.

E3 with Linux, login and p/word required please?
by Paul Toghill 25 Apr '17

25 Apr '17

Hello, I have found an E3 with a Linux kernel installed. After it has booted up it is asking for an Amsdel ta login and password. Does anyone know what the login and password are please? The screen has a cartoon penguin or duck in the top left hand corner and then it goes through the booting sequence and then asks for login name and password. Can anybody help with this? Many thanks from Paul.

E3 final update wanted for my E3s
by Paul Toghill 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Hello all, I have two E3s which require the final software update of which can be transferred to them via the Pocket Dockit. The final update was sent to all Emailers in 2011. Does anybody have a working E3 with this final update? I have an EM1000 and EM2001 of which both have been updated this way. I can send you a Dockit for you to transfer the set up date to and I could transfer it to my two so they work as normal telephones. Thank you in anticipation as I would like my E3s to work normally without shutting themselves down. Regards from Paul Toghill.
