Hi Richard,
if you'll download the most actual shareware version of Telix for DOS

Alternatively, pressing Alt-3 while Telix is running will print a reg form
on your connected printer. Moreover, you should also be able to

I want know how to make the damn thing to count!  Lots of (probably

of a crusade with me to make a track_hit respond differently each

I'm really kind of up against it at work lately, so I haven't done too
much; I'll try to post the offending parts again this weekend and see
if someone can explain why it won't count.

You must be online at the time, and you must have dialed via selecting
the entry in your phonebook, else it won't know which entry to look at
and will pop up that "No logon name (or password) available" message.
Apparently you do have things set up correctly such that the LOGONAME
and PASSWORD scripts are being found, else you would instead get a

Okay, I just forwarded another copy of the earlier message to you.
It also makes a difference HOW you dial.  If you dial by selecting an
entry in the dialing directory (even if done thru a script dial()
command which selects a dialing directory entry), and allow the
built-in dialing capability to establish the connection, then the
program knows which entry you are connected to, and can access the
information fields from the directory for user name, password, etc.
If, on the other hand, you dial manually, then the program does not
associate the number dialed with a directory entry, and you get the
error messages you indicated earlier.  Note that manual dialing would
also include dialing via a script which specifies the phone number to
dial rather than keying to a directory entry.

Agreed.  Re-installation is ALWAYS a major pain, for ANY program.

Hello Robert,
Yes, It will run with a 14.4 modem. *ALL* version of Telix have
always been able to. When you select the speed you are NOT
selecting the modem speed but the port speed. With a high speed
modem that has compression you will want a port speed that is
higher then the modem speed. 14.4k is not a legal port speed and
because of what I just told you, you would not want it anyway.
You can run the DOS version in a Windows window.

Write your reply.

assistant: 3.21 should certainly work even at 33.6.  3.22 fixes some of the bugs
in 3.21, and 3.51 works very well, and fixes bugs (as well as adds new
featurs) from 3.22.
All 3 (3.21, 3.22, 3.51 (latest)) should all work under Windows 3.1.
I'd suggest though, that if you wish to multitask in Windows, the Telix
for Windows v1.15D would be the best choice.  Obviously, your system
and preferences will determine the choice(s).

Every version of Telix I have seen, from 3.12 on, would run a 14.4 modem.
You do understand, do you not, that you don't set the serial port to run at
14400 bits per second, you set the serial port to run at 38800 or 57600
bps?  The modem uses "flow control" to use the higher speed in the serial
port to give itself time to error check and compress the data in the phone
lines.  It negotiates the phone line speed automatically with the other
modem.  That Telix 3.21 you have will run a 14400 modem at top speed, no
sweat.
Generally, you can run MS-DOS programs from Windows in a DOS box, using a
PIF (Program Information File) in Windows 3.1x.  I don't have Window 95,
but I would guess that something similar exists there.
But you can't run a Windows program from DOS.
On the other hand, if you have Windows, I think you will find that you
almost never want to use a DOS program; Windows programs work just fine
(including Telix for Windows), and will multitask in Windows much more
easily than will DOS programs.

Joe - hopefully you have already tried this and found that it works,
rather than waiting for a reply to your query.
Yes - for today's highs speed modems, you want the computer to
communicate with comm port FASTER than the modem's rated speed.
This is because modern high speed modems utilize data
compression.  Unless your computer sends its uncompressed data
to the modem faster than the modem can send the compressed data
out over the phone lines, the modem will have some idle time
while it waits for data to come in from your computer.
For only low levels of compression, 19.2 K would be okay, but
unless you have a really OLD system, your comm port should be
able to handle 38.4 or even 57.6.  If you notice missing screen
characters being transmitted by the other end, it is a good
indication that you have set your comm port speed to high and
should cut it back to the next lower setting.
