tried it as a daily driver

[Zebulon Walton]

The modem does flake out occasionally, and I do have to watch for it. Fortunately, even when data is broken phone calls usually go through. As you say, when the phone isn't working on Mobian it does show up in the status area at the top of the screen, and yes, I do see that, sometimes several times in a day.

Since there is a status indicator that shows when the modem goes offline I wonder how difficult it would be to have some kind of audio alert to warn that has happened? Although I leave the phone off most of the time, on occasion I might leave it on for a while if expecting a call and have experienced the modem dropping off occasionally.
