What I did was configure the emailer to dial another modem instead of the premium rate number by using a cheap 4 port pbx.
That's rather interesting; it opens up the possibility for an alternative mechanism for reflashing it by pretending to be an official Amstrad firmware update...
Yes, presumably. I think I have some firmware updates somewhere. Something like this maybe?
$ strings -a AppMmeBotDebug.pmt |sed 5q RebaseMot V1.0 BOT.pmt Q;Q; 5s3% @(#)BOT V1.0 Build:0046 s3%
Incidentally, while I was poking about on Usenet, I found a number of reports that if you prevent the e-mailer from calling the 0800 advert retrieval number for more than a few weeks, it'll stop working completely. How long have you had it set up like that?
A year or so. It's next due to dial up for some adverts in about 2020 I think :)
There's some flag that is to do with locking out, but I forget what I altered, maybe one of these:
UseLockout=1 UseV2Lockout=1
This is interesting :-)
AllowSnooping=1
