I've done this on my NOS 2.1(US)-device (area code in area code-field, home
number in home number-field, text message in extension-field), but it
doesn't show the message... I set the pin to "Ask once per day", and it
automatically also asks after a reset (haven't seen any setting for that
but noticed this behaviour, so I reckon it's a built-in security rule). It
displays the Newton-logo (bulb + "Newton"), my name, international phone
number (but my office phone, not my home phone), date and hour -- each of
these three in its own line -- and a number pad to tap the pin on.
Doesn't display my "Reward for return!"-message, though.
How can I get this sorted out so it displays the home number and my message
and *not* the office number?
Cheers,
'Kasko
