One question, one problem Mark Sekelsky Sun, 25 Jun 2000 19:39:01 -0500

Hi Mark,

At long last I am getting caught up with all your enhancements and am
looking at this web access stuff.  I have one question/problem and one
problem.  I am using 4.4002 with Win 98.

First, I can't get ECS to email me the IP address. I have no trouble
emailing phone messages to myself so I *think* I have the postie syntax
correct (modified ecs_www.bat). I don't get any error message or anything.
If I set ECS/www to "true" and then watch the screen as best I can tell
everything is fine.  How can I track down why no email is going out?

Second, I have a *relatively* consistent way to lockup the machine when
accessing ECS remotely (by phone).  I'll send the attachments separately so
they don't clutter up the list.  I have two ways I have frozen (when I say
frozen I mean everything is locked up and must do a hard reboot)  the
system.  The first is to call and access ECS.  I then enter the macro 50 (to
have ECS start a web connection).  The first time I did this I hung the
system.  I ran the 50 marco twice while in debug mode and it worked fine.

The more reliable way to freeze the system is to change the state of my
"somebodies home" item via the phone.  I do not have a macro for this and do
it by accessing that group and then that time number and pressing "0" to
change the state to off.  This will usually hang the system (in the
debug.zip I'll send separately.  "Somebodies home" is an appliance type
item.  When set to off ECS makes an announcement, starts some timers and
begin shutting various lights off.  I never have a problem with this item
except on remote access.
