Topic: Modem speaker

[Phil Routley]

Could somebody please tell me how to increase the volume of the modem speaker, and also some infomation on the default dialup attempts for a continous connection, I know this may seem a little strange, but I am concerned that the conection is going to dropout for what ever reason, and the modem is going to continully try connect. and run up a very large phone bill. As in Aust we are billed per call regardless of time.

Please could somebody put my mind at rest,

Phil

The configuration files are in the etc/e-smith/templates(-user; -custom; -user-custom) depends on what you would like to do. Is very important to take a look at "customization of e-smith" section in the e-smith manual To make modifications in the right way and wrigth place
in the templates dir,  you will find the comlete estructure of things that can be customized (the place you should look at is "diald" section.) be careful on this: the e-smith people has been specific. if you make changes directly in templates files you will loose the chance of restoring it to factory defaults.
so take a look to the templates modification process.

Going bak to your problem.
try making grep with some filters to messages file stored in /var/log to find out what could be the problem with your connection
the command could be (if you are in /var/log)  grep diald messages
this will show you all the acurrences of messages from diald service.

Hope it helps ;]
Alejandro.

Sorry to but in.  I've downloaded the manual (ESMITHuserguide-4.1.pdf), but cannot find any reference to "customization of e-smith" therein.  Is there another manual, or am I simply too blind to see it?

Thanks
