assistant: Hello.
The Zone 1 Backbone only carries echoes listed in the Zone 1/2 EchoList.  It
seems that the listing for this echo will expire this month.  Thus, it is
necessary for the moderator to update its listing if it is to remain on the
Zone 1 Backbone.
For more information please consult these files:  BOFAQxxx.TXT and
ELISTxxx.ZIP, where "xxx" is the version number.  They are available from
most hubs or can be requested from 1:1/200, 1:1/201 or 1:396/1.

have to so it manually.  Each of the messages is numbered.  Unfortunately,

I do appreciate the effort Will.  It's a great program and I look  forward to
getting hold of a complete copy of 1.10!

I don't know how to order the !, @, %, >, etc.
You send it as a separate file attachment, I would think that I would

assistant: That is good to hear and I sure hope it's true as I love Telemate to
death. Both the DOS and Windows versions are good but I still use the DOS
version in 95 with no problems at all.
        If anyone out there needs either the DOS 4.21 or the Windows 1.10,
you can file freq them at 1:208/800. For 4.21 DOS freq Telemate or for the
Windows version Freq TMW.  The System is at 33.6K Baud. - The Connection BBS.
        I hope that helps anyone looking for Telemate.  I will have it on my
BBS's WebPage soon and will post the URL here!

assistant: On Sep 07 Dennis Travis sez to Paul Smith:
version
When I run TM 4.20 for DOS under Win 95, I often get an error message when I
close TM, saying that TM tried to do something illegal (I forget the exact
message right now). Maybe I am the only one having this malady, and it couold
be due to some setup or conflict (although I can't imagine what - I have
configured TM to NOT use any video RAM nor EMS and limited the XMS to 2 meg
on a system with 32 Meg of RAM).
can
Just my luck! I spent a couple hours today trying various BBSes across the
country (with no luck), and just found it on our local club BBS!
For those folks who may find it cheaper to call New Orleans, LA, you can freq
TMW110.zip from 1:396/17, or call the NOPC BBS at 504-486-7261.

Write your reply.

assistant: I use to be the Western Reg site for Telemate, and it's no wonder
registrations are slow, I've not gotten a response back from Winfred about
continuing to accept registrations so I've turned a lot of people away since
I couldn't provide keys for them.  I did get one message from Winfred a long
time ago, but he never responded when I asked him if he wanted me to take
over as the main reg site since I was the only place that people could still
contact a human about registering (all of the other sites folded up).  I
still have the files on my BBS but I took them off my FTP site a long time
ago but do make them available from time to time for someone looking for them
since they are such big files (TW110.ZIP is 1.3 megs).
Maybe Winfred will come back and support his product sometime, a lot of
people are still trying to get it.

is to get on the Internet and use one of the search engines  to find TMW1.10
(at least I think that's the filename - I know you  can't do a search on
TeleMate as that's a commercial product.)
Good Luck!

Write your reply.

assistant: That is a strange one.  I don't use any special settings. I even have it
set to suggest Dos mode as necessary and with all my recent computers, It
never does and stays in Win 95.  Under the Memory Tab under properties I have
Total set to Auto, Inital envoroment at Auto,  EMS at 1024, XMS at 1024 and
MSDOS Protected at AUTO but I have noticed on other computers that I have set
up 95 on worked without even me changing it from stock settings!  Under the
Screen Tab I have it at Full Screen with all the other items below that
checked and under the MISC Tab i unchecked the Screen Saver and always
suspend, I have Warm if still active checked and fast pasting checked and
under Mouse quick edit.  I have the idle Sensivity set at high.  I never have
any crashes or problems with it that way at all and I have my capture buffer
in Telemate set to 9999 lines and still not a problem with my Pentium 75, 133
and 486 100. The Pents have 32 Megs RAM and the 486 16 Megs.
        I hope something above helps you.  If you are still having problems
write me at dtravis@wac.com and maybe we can figure it out.  I have been
running Telemate 4.20/21 in 95 since I got the June Beta of 95 in June 1995
and with OS/2 before that and DOS/Windows before that and have a lot of
experience with setting it up on different OS's and machines.

assistant: I sure hope so as to me Telemate is the best terminal overall out
there.  I have tried them all and keep coming back to TM on the IBM Platform.
 I sure hope Winfred does continue especially with the Windows version as he
said he was working on a 95 version!!!!  That would be nice.

assistant: I've got both 4.2 and the Windows 1.0 versions online. I keep the old dos
version on because I use the host mode as a mini bbs for myself when I'm at a
friends machine. Does anyone know if it's possible to transfer the scripts
from 4.2 to the windows versions? Or maybe I'm just a bonehead and haven't
figured how to get the host mode in the windows version working right.
     On the side, I wouldn't jump on the new windows 95 version, if Winfred
ever appears again. I just read in a computer mag that the powers that bee
see fit to finally bring out a Windows 3.1 upgrade. (3.2????) they are hoping
to take the features on 95 and add them to the 3.1 platform for us diehards
that never converted. But don't worry 95'rs the new features they're coming
out with will also be on a new 95 version. And not that stupid Win97 that was
recalled in a couple weeks. (sorry for the tangent) I just love the windows
version of Telemate and would like to get it working like my old dos version.
any suggestions?

assistant: hi all, I have a problem running Telemate 4.20 from Win95, an I am hoping
someone may be able to help me. The problem is that telemate doesnt seem
to be able to initialise the modem, I can get into the program no
problems but when i dial it does not pick up a dialtone and or even dial.
It just starts the dial timer and that is it!? Any help would be
appreciated
