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... 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? (This isn't a problem with *my* E2, because I long since accidentally erased a chunk of the firmware I hadn't backed up...) -- +- David Given --McQ-+ (base 10) = (base pi) | dg@cowlark.com | 1 = 1; 2 = 2; 3 = 3 | (dg@tao-group.com) | 3.1415926... = 10.0 +- www.cowlark.com --+ 4 = 12.201220211...
