assistant: (( QUOTING = From: TERRY KOT  To: ALL ))
Hello Terry,
Set the speed in each of your dialing directory entries to
something higher then 28.8k. Also set the default seting higher
so any new entries you enter will have this set higher for you.
Setting the default higher will also be what is then used for
manual dials. Then make sure you have Auto Baud detect set OFF.

Write your reply.

assistant: Just a note. 19200 is the "thru-put" setting for 9600 baud  not  14.4.
For 14.4 it is 38400.
33.6 should be set for a thru-put of 115200. But this does not seem to
be the problem. I have had problems with telix  3.22.  Can  use  Z  to
dload  but  not  uload  on  all  connections.  Now use Comit for these
connections.
Check your thru-put speed and then take a look at  your  buffer  size.
Other than that I guess I should shut-up. :-0

     Um, I've never heard of using the dialing directory to telnet, Alan.  I
only used the unix shell on my ISP to telnet, so only the ISP's phone number
is in telix.fon.
     Once connected and at the '%' prompt I use Telix's Alt-K command to load
a separate *.key file in which I have pre-entered the address (I use this for
both telnet and lynx addresses). Press the F-key for the address you want and
off you go. You can get.... um, I think 65 or 70 characters on a line in the
telix.key file or use a different file called address.key or something. Since
you can assign text to Shift, Alt, and Ctrl F-keys as well, you can have 48
addresses in a key file.

     Yes, and locking emulation to TTY, but nothing helps. If I set
     "drop dtr" to off, the modem will still disconnect instantly upon
     receiving the offending ansi code and refuses to disconnect during
     a normal logoff. What I'm really looking for is to find out "What"
     ansi code is doing this and any other common denominator between
     systems. Are these sysops using a common Ansi editor that might have
     a bug in it, is there a bug in Telix that only now has surfaced.
     The problem definitely does not lie with the Telco service, Calgary
     has been blessed with the finest Telco service in the world, and
     insider friends from both Telus and Northern Telecom have checked

Thanks to Ronald, John, Mark, Rick, Malcolm and the rest who

The problem's solved!
I changed the Baud rate in the Terminal options menu in the pgms
config section, but I neglected the Line speed settings for all
the entries in the phonebook (directory). They were still at the
old rate for my previous 14.4kb critter (19200). I now have both
Baud rate and Line settings set at 57600.
I'm also happy to report consistent 28800 or better connects with
this ACER unit.
The only beef I have with this unit is the lack of manuals for
either h/w or s/w.

Question
When was the last time you turned off your computer? <g>
I ask this to convince new computer users that the
computers for BBS run 24 hours a day and will run
forever.
People can't believe it  "WHAT? Never turn off your computer?"
Let me answer your question about GEcho 1.O. It is an older program
which I have set up on my BBS. I wouldn't change it for the world.
IT WORKS GREAT....
GEcho is a mail tosser. When the fidonet mail comes in at 2:3O A.M.
GEcho will automatically start up and place the TELIX messages
into the Telix echo area and the Ham Radio messages into the HAM RADIO
echo and so on.
There are many other good mail tossers out here which I haven't
tried. Just from my experience I will stick with GEcho.

I' am a newbie in the Windows 95 area. So, since five years i'am working with

modem and the max. speed is up to 33600. But with Telix v.3.21 (DOS) i cannot
reach this 33600 speed.
Question : How can I change to 33600 while the set-up is only max. 19200 ?
Question 2 : Is Telix for Windows up to 33600 or faster? Or have i to look
for another communication program?

   I have, the problem of disconnecting when receiving rogue ansi characters
   is non-existant. I like Telix, but if this obvious bug can't be

VT102 with a few tweaks....
How about "answer back string" and "external protocols" - do you have any
defined?, what about translation?, Telix has too many features :)
Maybe it's a bug in your modem? try turning everything off and dialing in at
2400 :)
Maybe you have a hardware,driver, or TSR conflict (try it without them)
Try a different terminal prog (Just as an experiment) maybe the junk that
was shipped with your modem.
Get the sysop to zip the offending banner and put it up for you to download.
