Be on WebHome with out being Connected.

To do this, puch home and wait for it to load. Once Home is loaded, push cmd+Power to disconnect.
After, disconnect the phone line from the back of the unit. Wit for the alert to come up asking if you want to try again or see Dialing Options. Click Dialing Options. Oce in Dialing Options, Push the "home" button.

Making a JScript Alert illusion on E-mail

To make the Javascript Alert illusion put this on your sig: <meta: http-equiv="refresh"content="0;url=client:showalert?message=WHAT_U_GONNA_SAY&image=file://rom/Images/JSAlert.gif&action=submitform">
It also works as a confirm if you change the "image=" to image=file://rom/Images/JSConfirm.gif
