Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Joe,
I would set the speed to 38.4 K with a text file or the onscreen display the
modem compress the data before it is sent down the phone line for this to
work you need to set the computer to modem link higher than the line speed.
The modem does have the smarts to connect at a different line speed to the
modem to computer speed.
I use Telix 3.22 with a 33.6 modem with no problems ver 3.21 has some bugs
you should look for 3.22 I think it was done as a patch file.
Regards, Malcolm.

assistant: (( QUOTING = From: Charles Jennings  To: Mark Harrison ))
Hello Charles,
 Yes and no. Telix knows it as it uses it for it's first
 estimate of a file transfer. No it does not put it in a variable
 for YOU to use. If you really need it you will need to pull it
 out of a status log or capture the number that comes up on the
 screen after a connect. I don't know why they did not give us
 access to that number. However I also don't see a great use for
 knowing it. I have written MANY scripts and have never needed
 it. The only use I can think of is if you wanted to do file
 transfer estimates. I think that code is in the QDHOST.SLT.
This has come up before and I thought there was but I sure can't
tell you. I looked in both the old and new manual and they look
the same. Maybe someone else can remember.

    Okay, thanks Mark.  I have a lock up problem on node 2 of a BBS I
call when I receive a REL-LAPM-COMP connection.  Don't have it if I get
only the REL-LAPM which I sometimes get.  I can avoid the lock up if I
know the connect string.
   In normal operation I start Telix from a batch file.  Telix then uses
a script to dial the BBSs.  Each BBS has a script in the dial directory.
After all this ;-) the connect string was gone before before I could
capture it.  Got it worked out by just adding a DIAL() to the script.
That way the script was already in memory when the connect string came
in.
  Thanks,

I have some questions which I hope someone can answer.
1.    I just got a "US Robotics Courier Dual Standard V34 Fax with
      V32bis."  When I dial up using Telix 3.22 the OFFLINE on the
      status bar says Offline even though I've logged on sucessfully.
      My other modems change the status bar to Online.
2.    What is the best settings for the above modem ?  since I don't
      have a manual.  Has anybody got one going spare ?

Write your reply.

assistant: Nor are you likely to see it in *any* comm program.  Use 19.2, with
hardware handshaking if the UART supports it (as it will if it's an
internal modem).
Well the UART in the present machine is a 16450, but the new 5th gen. machine
that is in the works will have 16550 UARTS of course. At present I have an
ld
US Robotics Courier 2400 external. (A genuwine antique?? :-) ) I plan to
always to go external no matter what I have. For the fun of it I tried
setting 4800 in my present setup and it didn't work. I was just wondering
what number I would use if I could beg, borrow or steal (less likely buy) a
14.4. Now thanks to you and others I know. Since I have no home Internet
access, (no ISP), and my telecommunications are limited to local BBSs, I feel
no pressing need to be on the bleeding X2 or even cutting 38.8 edge. But a
14.4 would give me access to a BBS that won't let me on now- thus my interest
in the answer to the above. Thanks.

8 bits/byte of original data plus some CRC overhead, actually.
Yeah, Rick, I know.  But I was responding to somebody complaining
that Telix didn't have a setting for a 14.4kbps modem.  I figured he
didn't need all the details, just the concept that the modem is
sending out a more compact data stream than it receives from the
computer.  This stuff is confusing enough on first hearing as it is.

 Hi there.. If you have a v42bis or v42 14.4 modem you should be able to
 set your rate to 57600 if your telix has that setting or 38400, or 19200.
 I've found that 14.4 modems with v42 work great at 57600, and modems with
 v32 work best at 38400 and straight 14.4's are fine at 19200.
 Happy Modeming!
