Hello Bill,
3.51 for dos adds a few new features that are listed in the
ShareWare archive. v1.15d for windows fixes many bugs and adds a
few things. You are the only one that can decide if they are
worth upgrading to. The windows is a FREE upgrade. They both have
ShareWare versions so there is no reason for you not to just give
them a try yourself to decide. There is nothing to lear over in
either case.

assistant: Thank you for your fast reply. I use the 3.2 version for BBS calling. I like
the big view instead of the TFW 1.01 view through a window. I also know the
proceedure better for up & downloading. I use the TFW for business where I
have to log on to the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles at 2400 baud.
They have the 14,400 modem but I only get machine language when I go the
faster rate.
I want to thank you for your suggestion. My TFW is registered and I don't
want to mix it up with a shareware download.
It is just 22 degrees outside and in a few weeks it will be spring. TELIX
won't be the prime interest when good weather hits.
Hope 2 hear from U soon.

Wrong planet??? ;-)
Well, in that case, you may have found the right area, right here. Cos'
that's the main topic. ;-)
Uhm, try to locate 3.22 somewhere... It's more up-to-date, however I would
not be able to point out the differences.
It does exist, AFAIK. But I've also seen messages about TfW 1.15 or something
similar.
Well, `being updated' doesn't always mean that you'd have to learn everything
anew. It may mean that some things have changed (mostly for the better) and
that you can do more with the newer software. Again, I wouldn't know what are
the exact differences between the versions that you use, and the latest
versions available...

     Thanks for the tip. I tried and it works.  Another free service is *67
or (1167 from a rotary phone) to hide temporarily your name and number from
the Call Display, so you can keep your anonymity when you initiate the
call.  It should work on local calls, but not always on long distance,

assistant: I am having a problem with the new type of busy signal the phone
company here is now using.
     Previously, when I connected to a busy line, the signal was just an
intermittent busy signal tone, and the modem would hang up immediately to
redial.  Now there is a voice message superimposed over the intermittent
busy tone.  It now takes my modem about 20 seconds to figure out that the
line is busy, before hanging up.
     Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set either the initialization
string or Telix settings, so that the modem will recognize immediately that
the line is busy, under this new type of busy signal, and hang up.
     If you know how, please inform me.
I am using Telix, and a HAYES compatible modem.
Your assistance would be appreciated.
