Write your reply.

assistant: Kevin,
I had a similar problem... what I had to do was to delete telix from my
system and then re-load it... this was with the shareware version but since
then I now have a registered version of 1.15d from DeltaCom.
If you have the registered version then it's just a matter of re-loading it
and if not then you have to get another shareware version.  I was told once
you have telix loaded then you can't just get rid of it but I had no problems
re-loading it.  It's a pain of course because it's time consuming but you may
have to resort to this.  Keep a seperate file of your phone directory so you
have the numbers when you need them.
Sorry I can't think of anything else.
Take care,
Pam

assistant: Hi,
I thank U 4 your note above. I tried to duplicate your nice face. I don't
have the task of making such a nice object as U have. It is really great.
Again, I don't understand what happened. There has been NO PROBLEM since. It
was a strange weather day and I guess TELIX 3.22 picked up on it and decided
to mess around with my connection.
Wow, I C U R usine QuickBBS 2.85 (Beta-8 Classic). I am a registered owner of
QuickBBS. I can't remember the version but it was back in 1992. I then
switched to R Access  which I seem 2 like. I have stuck w/Frontdoor 2.02 and
everything is working fine. I have no interest in rebuilding a BBS after
spending weeks back in 1992 making almost the perfect product.
Take care and do come to Boston and catch some Lobster.

That is great,,
I am using it now. I think it is old but I haven't heard if there is a newer
DOS version....
TFW 1.01 is not "AFAIK"... It works great but I like 3.22 better.
I have both on the computer ready to go.
I can always learn more about TELIX. Some have suggested that I change but I
never have yet.
Not yet but I would like to go. I doubt I could wear the shoes...<grin>

(Saturday February 22 1997 18:24) Rimu Atkinson to Ted Menks about: Re: SALT
Tutorials?
Tough luck! I was addressed by him personally, telling me that I could mail
him for his script... Oh, I didn't get the source, by the way ;-)
++.
Ah, just a few scripts to log in on several BBS's. And I've edited the QDhost
v3.22 a bit to make it work with other Telix-systems too. There was a little
problem when other Telix-users logged in on my Telix-host, having to do with
echo-ing characters in CHAT-mode...
The original script always echoes recieved characters in chatmode, but normal
chatmode assumes that sent characters are not echoed back, and sets up an
internal compensation... Therefor any Telix caller gets a double echo when
chatting with a Telix-host, even with local echo off. I fixed that...
I also did some other unspeakable things to that QDHost script, I don't even
remember what they were... ;-)
Yeah... I'm on coke all the time. The real Coke, I mean! (Always Coca
la...)
Guess so... as long as they use Telix, there's nothing wrong about mentioning
it... ;-)
Too bad...

===========================================
BT| Here in the Boston area yesterday we had record outside temperatures of
2
  | degrees F instead of the cold weather at a normal of 25 degrees F. The
resul
  | of the unusually hot weather using TELIX on a 14,400 Baud modem the other
  | local BBS in our area would not hand shake once connected. They worked
fine
  | at 2400 baud. Today now that the Weather temperatures are normal TELIX is
  | also working normal.
BT| Did U ever hear of such a thing?
The modems will negotiate the highest speed connection the quality
of the current connection will support.  Really is a modem-to-modem
thing that the communications program doesn't have anything to do
with.
Possibly the rapid temperature change caused some condensation in
the system somewhere that affected connection quality..  or something..
