The file seems to be corrupted. From my experience, it can't be fixed.
Look at the TELIX.FON file with any text viewer, write down the names
and numbers, delete the file, and re-create the list from inside TELIX.

assistant: ... ..........Some Deleted..........
 Yes it can be used as a telnet client.  I have been using it for over a
 year as a telnet client.
 There may be more than one way to set it up but I will give you the
 details as I did it.
 Make a phone book entry for the BBS you want to telnet too. Then edit
 the entry and set the connect device to telnet and set the primary
 number to the domain name (if you have the dot numbers they can also be
 used) of the bbs you want to call.  The other things such as name,
 password, script, protocol, etc is your choice as to their use or not.
 Once the phone book entry is completed connect to your ISP then launch
 TFW (I have had trouble if I launch TFW before connecting to my ISP)
 and highlight the entry you want to telnet to and hit the dial icon.
 TFW when used a a telnet client will support zmodem transfers both
 upload and download.  Some telnet clients will not support zmodem
 upload and some not very good.  But TFW does a very good job.  Like any
 other thing on the net if conditions are right (wrong) it can be slow
 but this is the net not TFW.
 I have used TFW as a telnet client to at least 10 different BBS's and
 regularly 4.
 I even use scripts to make my mail run unattended after I hit the dial
 icon.

assistant: Can anyone help?
I have Telix 3.22 running with a Netcomm SmartModem V.32 E5
Unfortunately the Telix program did not have my modem listed so I've setup on
the one that seem to run the best. It works fine but there are a few minor
things that I would like cleared up if possible.
I am running at 9600bps with no problems, (connections, download, upload and
chat).
The status bar in Telix reads 19200 when I start the program and initalize
he
modem. The connection box when you have dialed and connected has a blank
connection speed and then the status bar says that I've connected at 1200bps
when I,'ve actually connected at 9600bps.
I have to manually type in ATZ to reset the modem after I have
disconnected or hang up. (No real hassle)
Apart from the above as I have said it runs fine but I would like to see if
anything can be done to correct it, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Jan.

Write your reply.

assistant: BW| noticed it recognized the Winsock AOL installed and says "Telnet"

Basically, once you've selected the telnet port, you "dial" by entering
the URL of the site to which you are telnetting as the phone number --
such as 'bbs.delta.com' for the Telix BBS.
You'll probably need to set up a separate configuration file with telnet
as the default connect device, and then set up a shortcut to run TFW
with this configuration file when you want to use it as a telnet client.
If you don't, TFW will try to open the comm port, which, of course, it
can't do, because your internet connection is using it.

        U made a good suggestion about hooking the modem up to the printer
port and setting up Com 2 that way. This as U said would allow me to use
the MOUSE on Com 1.
        The only problem is that the modem cable can not go into the
printer RS232 since they are both female. I looked at my GENDER CHANGER
and that too is female on both ends. The Null Modem device has a male
and female on the each end and of course that won't work either.
        Finally, I can not use TFW in the LAPTOP SINCE it won't let me
set it up as Com 1 and I remove the mouse as I do using TELIX 3.22
        THANK YOU anyway for your suggestion.

Hello Bruce,
Some of the other guys could step you better. I have only done it

telnet. After I am on AOL I just fire up TFW in another window
and do a manual dial. When it asks for the phone number I enter
the URL. In the case of deltaComm I just enter "bbs.delta.com" as
the phone number.

Go into the config (alt-o) | Terminal Options | item 'A' and set your
Baud rate to 19200.  Then set item 'O' (Drop CTS during Disk Writes) to
on.  Confirm that items 'J' and 'L' are OFF, and item 'K' is ON.  'Esc'
then be sure to "Write setup to disk" as you leave the config menu.
If this doesn't do it, you can also try changing "Protocol Options" |
item 'F' from it's default of 4 to 1.
The above is assuming you are running strickly in DOS.  If you are
running from a Windows DOS box, then it can get a bit more involved.
