Our diald log almost made me fall off my chair over the weekend!
You see, we once had a problem (actually, it was our -then- ISP's
problem) of dialing, having our call answered at the ISP's end (ie,
line state became OffHook, at their end), but modem tones came
- at the earliest - 2.75 minutes -after- the ISP answered our calls!
(Thus, we - who are charged for each local call - were getting big
telephone bills... and reduced Internet access, as a result of the
above problem recurring. Our SME Server wasn't to blame, ex-
cept for not giving up after some unsuccesful retries...)
Wish 1: That SME Server would -stop- ringing out
after 'n' failed attempts
Now, back to our regularly scheduled Wish...
Well, with the above horror story in our not too distant memories,
you can imagine how we felt - as we checked a recent diald log
and saw a HUGE list of "Calling site
" one every minute!
Fortunately, this resulted from our -intentionally- terminating our
ISP connection [at a time at which they would have, otherwise,
charged us "overtime" rates], but leaving the SME Server running
Wish 2: It would be really nice if the diald log would NOT have an
entry if the system can sense modem offline/switched off
(ie if it wasn't possible to confirm that dialing has ocurred,
I don't want a line in the diald log suggesting that is had)
Too easy, eh?
(I hope so! Nobody here wants a heart attack any time soon!
