You are right, each bbs usually has different ,main, and ,add-on,
software.  I do not expect telix to mouse-support them all.  The
mouse ,in telix, works fine.  The keyboard ,in telix, works faster.
For me most communications commands are not issued ,in telix, but in
the bbs, where the keyboard is faster too.  I remember the messages
from people asking for the old telix to add mouse support, and when
it did I thought ,lets try it,.  I am just reporting my not seeing
any added benefit to the mouse, so I just don't use it.  My old
communications program didn't support all the features of my new
modem.  I knew telix was a good program, so I grabbed the newest
version, and sent my electronic check.

assistant: Gidday Larry
More than likely an IRQ conflict, altho if that were the case, I'm
surprised you don't also have problems outside of TFW.
My guess is you have an internal modem, probably set at Com3 Irq4,
which is the same IRQ that's used for the mouse. If that's the case,
then you need to move the IRQ of the modem. I would suggest IRQ5, but
if that's in use by the sound card, if you have one, then you'd also
need to move the IRQ of that. I would suggest IRQ10 for that one.
Anyway, before we can advise you correctly, you'll need to provide
some details.

Hello Howie,
Telix Users Information Exchange
This echo is for use by those who use or are interested in using
the TELIX communications program produced by deltaComm
Development. The echo is carried internationally and users of the
echo are scattered throughout the world. As such, and since
international calling is so expensive, off-topic message
restrictions are strictly enforced. Members of the conference
include many individuals who are very experienced in the use of
Telix, including those who have written a variety of Telix
related utilities. Script files are regularly entered and passed
via the echo. New members and novice users are welcome and
encouraged to share their experiences and opinions.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello!
At work I use a PC to directly connect to the office mainframe.
We've always used Crosstalk to connect, but I recently downloaded
TFW in hopes that it would also work. The connection was fine,
but it appears that the terminal emulation (VT220) isn't working
correctly. None of the upper ASCII, line-drawing characters are
being displayed. I'm not sure all of the VT220 escape codes are
being "interpreted" either. Any ideas? I would love to use TFW
as my terminal program at work.
Btw, if deltaComm has stopped further development of Telix, is
the registration policy the same?  Is there an upgrade price for
TFD users?
Thanks!

assistant: Luc
 Telnet is a way of calling BBS,s over the internet.
 First the BBS that you want to call must be connected to the internet.
 Then if you want to Telnet to it you logg on to your internet ISP. Then
 you use a Telnet client to connect with that BBS.  TFW is a very good
 Telnet client.  There are more than one way of doing it but I will list
 a simple way that I use.  First go in to config and set the connect
 device to Telnet.  Then make a phone book entry for the BBS and instead
 of a phone # list the internet address of the BBS.  Also in the phone
 book entry set the connect device for that entry to Telnet.  There are
 a lot of things that can be fine tuned after you get the simple
 connection setup working.  I have found out that I have better results
 if I connect to my ISP before I launch TFW.

Yes, but where you are probably getting mixed up is you cannot have
NTFS and FAT32 drives in the one machine on a dual boot system, and
expect to be able to access both drives. Whatever operating system you
boot up on will determine which drive you will be able to access.
As far as networking goes, it's only the data you are exchanging, so
there's no reason why you can't run NT on one machine, and Win95B on
the other machine, and have them share data.
FWIW, I have 2 machines running Win95B, and one running Win95(A),
which I can drop to DOS 6.22 and run Win311, and I can exchange data
from that machine to the others, and vice versa.
