It's still got a few indeosycrocies (sp?), but does the job.  Problem
is, seems deltaComm has all but abandoned both TFD and TFW to work on
the WIN95 version and to operate their ISP.  I don't think anyone from
deltaComm even monitors this echo anymore, and the deltaComm BBS is dead
on the BBS side -- it's now mainly a front door to deltaComm's
ISP operation.  I'll occasionally scan the newsgroups for any mention of

written two scripts, one for her log-in and one for mine. Since her

assistant: Hallo all,
Today I downloaded the telixversions 3.51 for dos and 1.15 for windows.
I tried to install the dosversion first.
Some questions.
Is it possible to install in an existing telix-directory without the loss of
data (phone-numbers)?
During istallation everything stops. I type <install>, a empty screen shows
only "esc to abort" and "enter to continu" or something like that. When I
press <esc> a list of modems apear. When I press <enter>, nothing happens.
What is going wrong?
After extracting the archives I noticed that there is no executable
telix-file. There is no telix.exe telix.ex_ or equivalent. The only
executabeles are inst.exe and install.bat, and modemcfg.exe.
The dosversion was packed in two files: telix351.arj and txmdm351.arj.
Is that correct? Are there files missing?
...much later that evening...
I installed the windows-version succesfully. But there was no support for my
modem, a Tornado 288H.
There is a possibility for an expense-manager. Wich one can I use for tfw?
I hope someone can give me some answers...

Hello Stephen,
Not a true flow chart. I have jotted things down on paper on
accession to get some of my thoughts in front of me before
writing the code. Now I have so much stuff that I am normally
just grabbing pieces of older scripts to piece together for what
I need. My latter stuff is written with reusability in mind by
keeping things broken up into modules (functions). Feel free to
ask away if you can't figure something out. Be forewarned that
many times I will not give you the answer but steer you in the
right direction so you can learn from it. If you have a major
project, I work for cash ;)

me,  and  hopefully  make  a  (pardon  my French) "kick-ass" host
script.  There is no Host+  for  Telix/Win, and we don't have the
source code for it.  :( I don't know when I'll release the source
code, but it will be within the next few  weeks.   If  anyone  is
interested  in  helping  me  make  QuickHost  a  better  host for
Telix/Win, please let me know.
When the source code is released,  it will be 100% public domain,
and people can use it however  they  like;  even  for  commercial
purposes.  However (yes, there's a catch), I retain rights to the
name "QuickHost." :)

There is a possibility for an expense-manager. Wich one can I use for tfw?

I noticed that an error-message occured after some time:

What does that mean? 2e8 is the adress of a com-port. My internal modem is in
