Hello Tom,
The closest thing Telix has is in Telix for Windows. You can turn
on "View GIF during download". If you don't like what you are
getting you can abort the download. Other then that I think
you're out of luck.

Write your reply.

assistant: I am looking for a way to assign a string to a key, under Telix350.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 If I use (when in Dos622) an ANSI Escape sequence it is of course
 effective whilst directly under Dos622, but once I invoke Telix,
 the key assignment is no longer effective.
 If I make the assignment whilst shelling to Dos (under Telix Alt-V),
 the assignment becomes effective only _after_ I get out of Telix and
 return to the direct control of Dos.
 I am _not_ using Telix-scripts; upto now I never felt the need to
 script my calls to BBS-s :  I prefer to stay in control of the
 sessions.
 I would be grateful for any help/advice.
 Regards,

JO> I am looking for a way to assign a string to a key, under Telix350.

Write your reply.

assistant: (I thought Telix jumped right from 3.22 to 3.51.)
In 3.22, one uses Alt-K (keyboard definitions/macros).
I presume 3.51 retained the same hotkey.
(When all else fails, read the documentation.)
You can assign strings for general use (always), or just the current
terminal emulation in use.
Examples:
Alt-1 using ANSI  emulation can be set to send "John Orlay is King!"
Alt-1 using VT102 emulation can be set to send "John Orlay is a Queen!"

Hello Trace,
Why do it manually? I wasn't saying that it was not an option
that could easily be selected. Also, That manual edit is not all
that you would need to do. The speed in the dialing directory
will override that all the time. He would need to change the
setting for each and every dialing directory entry. That's a bit
harder to do manually ;)

user: You are replying to Mark Harrison about "TFW".

Write your reply.

assistant: Mark
 TFW is doing something for me that I wish I could stop.
 I am using it as a telnet client.
 I have scripts setup such that after loading TFW I launch one script
 that will call several BBS's listed in the phone book and run a script
 associated with each listing in the phone book.  This makes a
 completely unattended mail run to several BBS's.  It works fine.  The
 problem is that if I put it in the background and work on something
 else in the foreground every time it starts to dial a new BBS and every
 time it starts to download a mail packet it comes back to the
 foreground.  I want it to stay in the background so I can work on
 something else while it is making the mail run.
 Any suggestions?

assistant: Hyya Everyone!
I know this has been discussed here several times, but, as usual, I
didn't save for the future.
I just bought a new 33.6 modem by SMARTLINK.  The modem config thingy
doesn't list any 33.6 modems.
Here's the problem:
When I use telix (dos), and the generic hspeed modem config, I get
transfers at about 3000 bps.  Seems like this should be higher.  ???
When I use TFW and the same generic config, I get transfers at about
400 bps.  I _know_ it should be higher than that.  I fooled with the
control panel (in 3.11 for Work Groups), obviously I didn't do
something right.
Que pasa?  What should I be doing?  I tried adding &G17 to the init
string (user guide sez this is default setting, spozed to allow max
speed transfers.)
I'm lost.  Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanked.

If he is directly editing the telix.cnf file, then 'baud=5760' is
correct.  It is interpreted as meaning 57600.  Actually entering
'baud=57600' in telix.cnf results in a port speed of 2400.

the program does not connect. AT does not say OK and ATDT does
not make a dial tone.
        What files should I copy from the working TFW to the non
