The Control Window
The control is used to check the status of the BePhoneyd program and to change
its status. The window looks like:
This window has two buttons:
- The "Start BePhoneyd" button will start BePhoneyd if it is not
already running. If it is already running, the button label will be
"Restart BePhoneyd" which will stop and the start BePhoneyd.
- The "Quit BePhoneyd" is only available if BePhoneyd is running.
When you click on the button, BePhoneyd will stop. This is useful if you
would like to dial out using PPP on a modem configured under BePhoney.
(See the section on Limitations)
The window also has a large text section. This area is used to display
logging information from BePhoneyd. See the section on
troubleshooting for more info on what
is displayed here.
There are no special menu items that act differently in this window. If you
drop a file on this window, BePhoney will attempt to open the file as a
message.
