Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Dean,
Perhaps I can be of some help to you??  The best "manual" in the
world for Telemate is right there at your F-1 key, not to mention
the superb .DOC or .TXT file included with the archive.  So, I think
you DO have a manual, per se .... unless perhaps you are using a
version that is older than v4.12 or the new v4.20??
Is "unlock" really the correct word that you meant to use here?  If
you are using a 9600+ speed modem, I cannot understand why you would
want to use Telemate with anything less than a 1.5:1 ratio LOCKED
COM Port .... surely not an "unlocked" one.
If your modem is a 14400, then a locked rate of 19200 would be the
very minimum to use, and for the faster 28800 modems, then a locked
rate of 38400 would be the minimum I would think.
Perhaps you have some special reason to want the port unlocked??
Please advise...
Best Regards,

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Jeff, the direct line to dial into my BBS is:
Hayes 28.8 -   (503) 681-8324
Courier 14.4 - (503) 640-0278
Courier 14.4 - (503) 681-0543

HST Dual 14.4- (503) 693-7523  (Fast Log in only, see below)
You can log in normal or use the fast log in under the name of DOOR GAMES and
password of DOORS  (I'm a door author and that's for people to get in fast
for my doors and it's good for Telemate as well).
I hope that helps, Jeff.

assistant: *** Quote: Nancy Porter to Richard Gray

Actually, there is a drawback to doing this: there are times you'll get
"CARRIER 28800" followed by "NO CARRIER" (do not laugh, it has happened to me
before), then TM will trip as if there was a connect when it sees "CARRIER
28800", sound the alarm, etc. The connect may be gone by the time you run
ack
upstairs to make sure your connect doesn't time out. Worse, TM *quits
ialing*
until you manually re-start it.
There should be a "capture but not connect" category, where you can put
"CARRIER", "PROTOCOL", "COMPRESSION", "MODULATION", etc because a connect is
not official until it actually says "CONNECT 28800/ARQ" or "CONNECT" followed
by *something*.

 DOS, run TMINST; choose COM PARAMETERS , then FLOW CONTROL, and make
 sure the 16550 FIFO option is set to on.
 As well, make sure that the XON/XOFF option is OFF and the RTS/CTS is
 ON ... this is also found under FLOW CONTROL.
 Does it d/l OK?   Try the above and let us know more about your

 problem.
 It is going well.  You are going to love TMW (Telemate for Windows)!
 It is so feature rich in the area of configurability that I can

assistant: If you are NOT utilizing COM3 while in Windows, but your modem is on
 COM4, then you ***MUST*** tell WIndows that NOTHING is utilizing COM3 ...
 otherwise COM4's address will shift down to what you have designated as
 COM3's address.  The following lines will do this for you.
 Com3Irq=-1
 Com3Base=-1
 Now, as to your u/l problem, the above should not effect it IF it does
 not affect d/ls.  If you are having a address conflict the program
