Turns out the turn-off problem was an issue with the battery running=20
down.
It's running off of AC (6 volt adapter, meters at 6.2 Volts), and works=20=
quite well.
According to the memory info window, it's running NOS 2.0 (515264)-0,
and has 512k ram and 1361k of storage (1032 k free)
The following packages are installed:
ComAssist:ALLPEN (throws a 48200)
ExchangeList (About says it's Super Tech R1 Build 18 9/18/96,=20
=A91994-1996 Harris, Dracon Division)
Ginglith:ALLPEN (an extension)
HAPI:ALLPEN (Another extension)
protoRadioAdmin:ALLPEN (another extension, apparently required by Radio=20=
Admin)
RadioAdmin (threw a -10061 once, which I thought was 4 mb ram only.=20
Appears to be a radio configuration tool,
has options for looking for groupers (Digital Ocean's Wireless backpack=20=
unit), has the Harris Corp. and ALLPEN logos)
TAN (Appears to by integrated with the Technician Assistant, and is=20
likewise for phone workers. Made by ALLPEN for Harris,
has a call button, appears to be related to telephony, but I haven't=20
yet determined its actual function.)
teiglin:allpen (an extension)
Launching Assist also brings up the technician assistant, with appears=20=
to be a task-oriented help system.
Now, does anyone know if there's some way I could copy these off? The=20
unit lacks IR support, and has no standard serial ports.
It does have a PC card slot, which I'll look into useing, but I'd like=20=
to have a back up of the current system state before I install=20
anything.
Cheers
Actually, it appears that either the Ginglith or teiglin packages=20
disable the IR, Fax, and eWorld Mail support.
There are no outwardly visible IR ports, however I do have a modem card=20=
that appears to work, though I'm not sure if
I can do a modem-to-modem connection. Does anyone know how feasible=20
this would be?
Oh, and the internal radio appears to work, though I have nothing to=20
connect to. When I do a grouper search, it finds two internal devices.=20=
Also, the same extension that disables IR and all also adds a wireless=20=
status button to the notes app.
