I sent this to h:

You might try Omen Technology, they have what you want, a Zmodem for the 6000.
IT works well with a 3151pc emulator from RD Enterprises(470-831-6118).
I'm unsure of what levels of AIX thesupport, but I've used it under 3.2 without
noticable problems, and it's cheap $20 for a single copy, with quanity
discounts avail.

Hope it's what your looking for.

My company is looking for commercial (i.e. supported) software to

corporate policy require that all software released into the field be

My experience regarding the service from Telebit is vastly different than
yours.  We are running several Worldblazers here with 5.01 roms which
exhibit the annoying habit of effectively locking up on a random basis.  We
have to manually reset them several times a day (power cycle) to clear it.
The problem has been discussed with them, and they were able to reproduce it
in their offices.  They suggested a workaround that they thought may minimize
the problem, which turned out to break other things, and after that quit
responding to our inquiries.

During one of my attempts to obtain a resolution to the problem I mentioned
that I wondered if "going public" via the net would hasten their efforts,
and was told that if I did that they would deny the existance of the bug.  I
assume this is because if the word was out they would likely be pressured to
do yet another general field upgrade of all the modems sold to date, which
would obviously not be a terribly rewarding experience for them financially.

I have chosen to wait, as patiently as possible, for them to deal with the
issue in the "fair and equitable manner" mentioned above.  I hope soon to
see them "provide prompt and courtious service" as I have occasionally heard
they are capable of.

On the other hand, I have set some time aside on New Years day to go through
my email save files and pull the documentation together on this so I can
post the whole sordid mess in the hope that the collected efforts of the
readers of the relevant groups might cause them to provide a solution.

Oh, and while I am at it, I may also put something together documenting how
they knowingly collect a greater percentage of sales tax than is owed from
people living in selected areas, even after having copies of the relevant
tax laws provided to them, as well as letters and phone calls describing the
situation...

And if I am *really* motivated, I could even discuss how they like to send
notices that billings that are already paid are still due, but cannot find
the time to reply to letters documenting clearly (including copies of the
cancelled checks) that payment has been made...

Stay tuned to this channel for further information...

I may be somewhat of a fanatic on this subject but here goes:

Months ago, when I bought my Worldblazer on the LoyaltyPays thing, I
was told that I had to pay a 5% Massachusetts sales tax of 5%. Sales
tax for mail order? Never heard of such nonsense. Seems that MA has a
law that sez that if you have a sales office in the state then you
gotta collect sales tax. I was pissed (even though I bought the modem
from them) but just wanted to make sure that my sales tax was in fact
making it to the MA Revenue Dept Slaes Tax Division. I called up,
talked to a clerk who told me that the law does in fact exist,
Telebit does pay the tax to the state, and there is absolutely no way
to enforce this law if the foreighn corporations do not cooperate. I
kinda left it that way with a mental note about Telebits
spinelessness in this matter.

Well... I just called Telebit again to order my fax upgrade for $100.
I was again told that the sales tax is 5%. Since the very pleasent
woman at the other end was not the criminal in charge, I was nice
about explaining why this whole affair disgusted me. This is where it
gets tres interesting. She told me that if I wanted to, she could
check a box on the order form saying that the customer refused to pay
the sales tax and that in the event of the Massachusetts Revenue
Dept. auditing Telebit my name would be given to the Revenuers. 

Hmmm. Sounds like a good deal to me. Somewhere enshrined in Telebit
is my order with the little box checked. The reason I'm writing is
twofold:

	1) I was not convinced that the information I got about
	   getting my box checked is being freely made available to
	   Telebit customers. It certainly should be. You should not
	   have to bitch before being informed about what all the
	   options are.

	2) Do I have a shot of getting my $25 bucks back for the tax
	   on the WorldBlazer? Why was I not told about this at the
	   time of purchase? I can only assure you that I was more
	   vociferous about it at WorldBlazer time than at Fax
	   upgrade time. $25 to me is an easy dinner.

Telebit can reach me at 617-327-3083 anytime.

Thats the feature pal.

T3000, Worldblazers, T3000+Fax and Worldblazers+FAX all use the same
E-PROM set of firmware. (Now that the older T3000 that couldn't
do TurboPEP have been 'retired :-) ) Which features are enabled is
controlled by that PAL.

If you are unsure where it plugs in, Call telebit, they'll quickly
tell you which position it is. (And I am surprised is not in the new
upgrade instructions.

I agree completely.  I have a pair of DCA Fastlink modems, a pair of
T2500's and a WorldBlazer.  All have been in continuous service without
fail.  The Fastlinks (first batch of Telebit modems produced) have been
operational since the early/mid 80's.  Over the years Telebit has
provided software upgrades with additional features quickly and either
free or at very low cost.

The Fastlink modems are still, years later, the only modems capable of
sustaining an error free data path from San Diego to rural southern Mexico.
They maintain a stable connection over phone lines where the signal
often drops completely for seconds at a time.  A path you can't hold a
normal voice conversation over.  We would upgrade the modems to
Worldblazers, but in truth, see no need.  What we have works very well.

Nothing but rave reviews from this happy camper..

Details vary, but I believe every state has a law to this effect.
And every state has a similar duty which each citizen is obliged to
pay on mail-order items he purchased from companies who don't maintain
such a business presence.  Of course, enforcement is virtually nil, 
though various states have made noises about it from time to time.

Ignoring a law simply because you can is not usually looked upon as a
position of moral superiority.  We hear news reports about businesses'
questionable practices every day; why are you calling for more of it?
I realize state tax collection isn't in the same class as toxic waste
disposal or oil tanker operation, but it's nice to see a corporation
with a little moral character.

I seriously doubt it.  It was a legitimate tax (short of having the law
overturned, anyway) and it's almost certainly been paid to the state by 
now.  Feel free to petition the state for it, though.

[Other Telebit hassles deleted to save space]

Boy--does this sound like some of the same sh*t that I've gone through
with Telebit recently!

I used to think that Telebit was a fine company to deal with but no
more.  I recently experienced what their warranty service is like.  It
only took them two and a half months (!) to fix and return my T2500 to
me.  On top of that inexcusable delay, they tried to stick me with $195
in repair charges just because of their screwed-up record keeping when
it comes to warranty registration cards.

Regarding the WorldBlazer 5.01 ROMs, I've experienced similar problems
here which I reported months ago.  I have managed to obtain 7.01 ROMs
which I plan on trying out in the next day or two.  Of course, I'm
expecting to find some more bugs in the 7.01 code.

Like Mr. Kemnitz, my patience with Telebit customer "service" is
growing very thin.  Maybe I'll join him on New Year's day and post
about all my recent experiences with Telebit too.

I just received the FAX upgrade kit today and installed it tonight.  The
instruction booklet contained the instructions on replacing the PAL chip.
It is the chip just in front of the EPROMs toward the front panel switches.
It is the only other socket chip on the board.
The install went very smoothly.  I am writing this over the modem that I
upgraded.  At least we know that the normal modem functions work.  When I
get FAX software, I will know if that part works also.

Has anyone used the Delrina FAX software and how have they found it to
function for them?
Has anyone used the Faximum software for SCO Xenix or SCO Unix or ODT?
