assistant: Have been having a problem with Telix (v3.22) and Ansi characters. It seems
that a couple of local bbs's that have ansi intensive menus are incorporating
a character that instantly sends a disconnect to my modem. I've been using
Telix for years and the problem seems to be a recent development, anybody

Write your reply.

assistant: It's a Cirrus Logic 14.4 voice/fax. Configuration is factory defaults (I got
it used without any docs), and my init string is simply ATZ. I noticed the
same problem though with a Rockwell chipset modem on an Aztec sound card in
the same machine. I usually run Telix under Windoz95 but have noticed the
same problem under dos. The only thing that I can think of is that DOS 7.0
(win95 dos) is flawed (considering Windoz stability this is a very good
probability).

OK so let me see if I got it right..When I in Telix I turn on the
Doorway mode...jump to shell Dos & go into a diff. DIR. on my HD say
like Corridor7..play the game..while I'm stiil in Telix..Or do I have to
have door games like other BBS in order to really use Doorway mode???
Well the one friend of my who was a SysOp wouldn't delete stuff on my
HD this way or another way..He use to run Telix on he computer, but
knot in BBS mode in order to use Doorway mode...I can set it up to be a
BBS just by adding the other part of Telix v3.21. I have print out all
the msg you sent me to help me down the road..so I don't have to ask the
same old question again..
Well catchya later...and thanks..

Dennis Farkas say to All:
A single character isn't going to make your modem disconnect, and it won't
make Telix disconnect, either.
But a temporary loss of carrier may make your modem hang up.  Basically,
register S10 contains the time your modem waits for a carrier to return
before disconnecting, in tenths of a second.  The time actually waited is
the difference between the value in S9 and the value in S10.  The values in
my modem are S9=6, S10=14, or 6/10 of a second.

Gordon Preete say to Pete Granzeau:
Neither is true.  You call another computer (usually a BBS) with Telix in
its normal mode.  Once you are talking to the other computer, you enter the
command to do something (play a game, usually), and that game requires you
to use, say, the up and down arrow keys.  In Telix, up arrow starts your
computer uploading a file, and down arrow starts your computer receiving a
file.  You don't want to do either of those.  Instead, you enter Alt-Equal,
and you are now in doorway mode.  You can enter the up and down arrow keys,
and they will be sent to the game on the BBS computer.  When you are done
with the game, you can hit Alt-Equal again, and get control of Telix back.

Write your reply.

assistant: this is strange...
Could be their software sending a "BREAK"  turn off "long space disconnect",
you have to shange your modem's init. string.
The register is "S18" it should have a value below 128, (if it doesn't
subtract 128)
AFAIK  L.S.D. is the only remote signal able to cause a hang-up
(that'd be confusing out of context :)
The other possible cause could be an external protocol that's mis-firing.
(alt-o P) or your answer-back string (alt-o T P) hanging your modem up.
if there entries are blank they aren't the problem.
Or you could just hae a dud modem.

  Tell that to my modems.
     This problem isn't confined to USR modems it seems. I'm having the
     same disconnect problems. I've tried 3 different modems (2 internal
     1 external) on 2 different machines, the only thing common to both
     machines is Telix and the abhorent ANSI screens on a couple of local
     bbs's. Access a certain ANSI screen (some work just fine) and after
about
     a half screen worth of graphics CLICK. I tried a different comm prg
     (one that works but I'm not too fond of) and low and behold no problem.
     I've tried Telix in VT102 emu, TTY mode Ansi, Ansi BBS and every time
     a certain screen is displayed, Click.  If you and your user can figure
     out which is the rogue ansi character, I and a couple of local sysops
