TELIX.LNG is generated automatically just after installing the
*registered* copy of TELIX v3.51. If you have registered Telix v3.51,
make sure that all files with the extension ".LNG" (shipped with the
registered copy) exist in your Telix directory. While running Telix, then
simply select the option "Language setup" in the Telix configuration menu
(Alt-O), where you can then setup Telix for French language support.
BTW, this does *NOT* work with the shareware version of Telix v3.51.
;-) That version only supports English language! There's no other way: if
you'd like to enjoy French language support in Telix v3.51, you must

Write your reply.

assistant: Which version of TELIX DOS are you running?
try to get telix for windows...it will work better in w95,
you must be able to find it on your local bbs or on the net, just search
for the keyword telix or deltacom online in yahoo.
Do you have the same problem when your running it under DOS?
try the generic brand name with the correct speed and if the program wants
to send a command to the non-volatile ram modem memory ... say yes
I don't think that theses changes should affect your internet connection.
if so then just get out the modem from your pc and the ram memory of it
will be erase and the changes that you've made will also be erase.

assistant: Well... Technically "CONNECT" is a string... :-)
This sounds to me like a fossil problem/telix setup mismatch somewhere.
Are you using a DOS/Win95 Fossil?
Do you have telix 3.51 (which added fossil support) using the fossil?
Is the fossil allowing other *DOS* programs to access the port?
I've just installed telix 3.22 here and it works 100% with the modem.
Make sure that EVERYTHING is set to the same speed.  Say, 57,600 for a
locked speed in the fossil (if used), telix terminal settings, dialing
directlry and Windows Modem setup.
SOMETIMES mismatches can cause odd things to happen.
Keep giving us info, as this will help track down the cause.

Try adding S95=47 to that init string, i.e. make it

If that doesn't work, go back to your original init and change the
"Connect string" from 'CONNECT' to 'CARRIER'.
As a last resort, manually dial from the terminal screen, e.g.
ATDTxxx-xxxx<cr>
and post what the modem returns as it connects.

assistant: First off all thanks to you guys (Greg, Luc, Cameron and Dave)
for all your suggestions;
Really sorry about one thing; It's version 3.22 that I am trying not
version 3.51 as I wrote in a previous message.:-((((
When I connect directly : atdtxxx-xxxxx everything works fine and I get
the message: CONNECT 28800/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS
I have tried it in real DOS; same problem
As always, when I will find the problem it will probably be a thing so
stupid that I will be ashamed to tell;
Also, I must say it's not a big problem. It's just that it would be nice
to know what's going on.
And as suggested I am also trying window based prgms.
Final Note:
I've try the suggestion of Luc; I've run modemcfg and use the
configuration for the GVC 9600/14400; The connect speed writen is 38800
The only thing that has changed:
Init String: AT&F2 (everything else has gone)
I also notice that the Autobaud detect is now OFF
Surprise: everything works fine!!!!! But I don't know why.
As suggested I will also try window based prgms

That's a USR modem connect string.  For some reason, I thought you had a
Rockwell based modem.
Autobaud detect most certainly should be OFF.  Turning autobaud OFF is
usually called 'locking the port'.  *You want the port locked*.  With
the port unlocked, (autobaud ON) most likely your modem was talking at
one speed while your Comm program was listening at a different speed and
therefore didn't recognize the CONNECT string.
USR modems generally work well with the factory default harware
flow control profile (&F1).  Leave the Autobaud OFF and change the init
string to AT&F1.
