assistant: Hi there:
To end this thread-I volunteer to do this piece of work.  Telix is the best
Comm program available.  I have been a registered user for a long time.
So for what it is worth, and to maintain peace here-I will copy your files
in a suitable manner onto 720K disks.
Here is the deal:  e-mail me at jc836@aol.com and we can arrange for you to
ship your disks (deltaComm and blank) to me for processing.  If you can't do
that post here.  Or do as John suggests-you can also download a copy of
Diskcopy Fast 5.? (shareware) and have a friend do the conversion.
Good luck
JIM

assistant: Hi guys. I haven't been on the Telix echo for some time now but it
  looks like most of the traffic has just about dried up. Last time I
  was on there were some Delta Comm employees answering questions, etc.
  but now I don't see any. Has Delta Comm stopped actively selling and
  supporting Telix? I also notice that there hasn't been a new release
  in quite some time where there use to be several a year.

I just tried that suggestion, but still 1st time users can upload, just means
that they cant see the uploads in the upload area.  I think it's a major

uploads.
I am running most of Merrill's scripts on my BBS and was hoping that he would

I've been using the trail-version of TELIX 3.51 and it looks fine but

user: You are replying to All about "Freenet logon problem".

Write your reply.

assistant: Can someone help me log on to my local FreeNet with a new Zoom modem
 I bought several weeks ago? At present I still have to use my old
 external Premier Innovations P2400E for the purpose, while I use the
 new internal V.34I 2805C for the local computer society BBS. And I
 have Telix 3.22 installed twice in order to do so; slow for SCFN with
 the P2400E on COM2 IRQ3; fast for TBCS with the 2805C on COM3 IRQ5.
 At first I couldn't log on to either SCFN or TBCS. After much help
 from Zoom's faxback service, I finally got back on to TBCS with the
 init string AT&F&C1&D2+MS=11,0,19200,28800, but nothing worked with
 SCFN. Zoom's tech finally said "Looks as if your software's screwing
 up".
 My 'fast' Telix is set up with the above init string; computer to
 modem 38400,N81,FDX; prefix ATDT; modem to modem (for SCFN)
 VT102,2400,N81, auto baud detect off. Problem there would seem to be,
 if I find a string that enables SCFN, it won't work with TBCS any
 more. But at least I'd only have to use one modem, even if I had to
 keep two installations of Telix. (BTW, no, when trying SCFN I was NOT
 using the 'fast' init string. I only use that for TBCS).
 I wonder if there's some sort of hardware conflict going on, and
 someone with the exact same setup would have to test it to see what's
 up. I have a Packard Bell Legend 300SX with Phoenix ROM BIOS 1/15/88
 80386 V 1.10 1113. I don't know what type of modems SCFN has; only
 that their max speed for now is 2400. The Zoom tech dialled them up
 (813-298-1653) with two different modems, and had no problem. So the
 conflict surely has to be caused by either the PB, or Telix.

So this Marshell Dudley's doorway program is in 3rd part of telix 322

OK do I have to have this Marshall Dudley's program in order to use the
doorway mode "yes or no" for other preson..say to play a dos game on my

OK so I turn on doorway mode..yes trun it on and off...but how would
that gave me greater keyborad control??? wouldn't that control be if
other computer hookup to your and enter the doorway when it was open???
Have you tryed is out side of running door games on your BBS??

Write your reply.

assistant: First, your new modem and your printer port are sharing the SAME IRQ. Change
the new modem's IRQ back to 4 (standard com port parameters). Phoenix Bios
and a Packard Bell mother board aren't the most stable or desirable combo
that exists either. You didn't say wether or not you were running Telix from
Windows (3.1 if it's a 386sx) or Dos. Do yourself a favour and run Telix
directly from DOS. Second, make sure that Telix is configured for VT102
emulation!!! Every Freenet I've seen runs a shell program called the Lynx
browser, and Lynx id very picky about terminal emulation, ANSI just won't
work period. Set your init string to ATZcr. Unless your freenet is using old
USR/HST 16600 modems you should be able to connect just fine.
