Hi Nick,
Can someone who knows Cliff contact him to ask how the Amstrad Emailer deactivates itself or locks its features please…? I don’t see why you wouldn’t tell us now the device is obsolete
I expect he's probably divulged everything he can recall after quite a few contacts over the years.
I need to know how it locks and how it does it, if we know then we might be able to find a way to activate, unlock them.
Isn't it the lack of being able to `phone home' that causes it to deactivate after a while? I seem to recall discussion on this list about hooking up a modem in place of the phone line to `take' the call. `AT+VTS' generates a dial tone? These days, perhaps a Asterisk/PoTS/VoIP bit of hardware could do similar.
Has anyone managed to backed up there NAND from the E3,if so did you backup it when the Emailer was activated, if yes to both please can you shear it
Good idea.
The older firmware, before it got encrypted, could be disassembled and studied some more, probably easier now than then with tool advancements, and the phone-call code found so it can be stubbed out and the firmware re-programmed.
