Hello Tom,
ATA is not the command to turn autoanswer on. It is the command
to tell the modem to answer "right now". ATS0=1 is normally the
command to turn it on with 1 being the number of rings before
answering. ATS0=0 is how to turn autoanswer off.

Actually, ATA is the manual answer command.  The S0 register sets the
number of rings before answering.  Setting S0=0 turns off autoanswer.

assistant: Gidday Tom
That's not quite right. ATA will force the modem to answer.
To turn auto answer off, ATS0=0.
To turn auto answer on, ATS0=n, where n is the number of rings you
want the modem to answer at, eg ATS0=3 will make the modem answer on
the third ring.

The ATA command is actually the manual answer command -- send it, and
the modem answers.
Auto answer is controlled by the ATS0 command.  Setting ATS0=0 turns
auto answer off, and setting it to any other number makes it answer on
that ring.

assistant: Here are the results of my calling Delta.  I called on Tue before New

money and called long distance to their bbs.  It wasn't much of one.
I did not see the areas touted in the owner's manual.  I left a
message for them to send me a dd disk(s) and the proper instructions
for installing from same, ASAP!
To: deltaCom,
I now have only 14 days left of the trial period.
I have a perfectly stable, working order, dos system.
I ordered and payed for your dos program.
I clearly stated on the order form 'Double Density disk(s)'.
If you do not send me a usable Double Density disk(s),
I WANT MY MONEY BACK!  Including shipping.

Hello Bob,
Telix does not need or use ansi.sys. It does its own emulation
and ignores ansi.sys even if it is loaded.

assistant: After you asked:
Jeff Brielmaier was nice enough to say:
[installing instructions]
[more instructions]
After which you yelled:
Perhaps we should explain it more simply.
If you downloaded the program from a BBS, there will be files waiting
for you on your hard drive, in your "download" directory.
If you got version 3.22, there should be 4 files.
If you got version 3.51, there should be only 1 file.
To install, you will need the program PKUNZIP in your "path".
To check this, at the C:\> prompt type PKUNZIP.
If you get a screen of instructions, good.
If not, you need to get PKUNZIP so you can "unzip" the compressed files.
Assuming you have PKUNZIP available, and assuming the filenames are
the same as in Jeff's message...
  -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If you have Telix 3.22, go into the directory where the compressed
files are located, then type the following -4- lines exactly:
MD  \TELIX
PKUNZIP  TLX322*.ZIP  \TELIX
CD  \TELIX
TELIX
This will install Telix 3.22 and start it up, so you can configure it.
  -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If you have Telix 3.51, go into the directory where the compressed
file is located, then type the following -7- lines exactly:
MD  \TELTEMP
PKUNZIP  TELIX351.ZIP  \TELTEMP
CD  \TELTEMP
INSTALL
DEL  \TELTEMP\*.*    (answer yes) <-don't type this part
RD  \TELTEMP
This will install Telix 3.51, and remove the temporary files.
To start it up, go to the directory you specified during "setup",
and type TELIX, so you can configure it.
  -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If you still have trouble, get a friend who has more experience with
installing programs, and ask him to to hit you over the head with a
large fish, and then to install Telix while you're unconscious.
