assistant: Gary Laming wrote a message to All that said..
My guess is that you turn your computer on and off every day (unlike
those of us who leave them on continually).  Your problem is common.  If
you must see the init string, I recommend this workaround...
If you're using DOS, hit ALT-O, and go to Modem & Dialling.  Then in
your init string, insert the following *before* your existing init
string:
       AT^M~~~
This will grab the modem's attention, and bring things back to reality
so you can see the string go in, and see the modem's response.
Of course, this may be substituted for any AT command you wish.  ATZ,
AT&F, whatever.  The AT is the important part.  If it doesn't work, try
inserting more tilde's.  (~'s)

Write your reply.

assistant: I have recently installed and am trying out the evaluation version of
TFW 1.15d.
Is this the most recent release of Telix for Windows?
I like the program pretty well so far, but one thing I would like to be
able to do that I haven't been able to figure out so far, is to set the
port speed individually for each individual entry in the phonebook (as
you can with Telix for DOS.)
Of the 4 BBSs I call, on 3 of them I can establish a 28.8 connect very
quickly and reliably if the port speed is set at either 38400 or 57600.
On one BBS, however, I cannot connect easily at either of those
settings.. it takes repeated trials & redials before I finally connect
OK.  But I've found that by limiting the speed to 19200 for that
particular board I can connect the first time every time, and the slight
tradeoff in speed is well worth not having to keep dialing over and over
again.
Unfortunately, I can only find one place to change the port speed
setting, and it appears to be a global setting that effects all calls
made.
Is there a way to custom set that for each phonebook entry that I just
happen to be missing?
Thanks,

You have two choices...
If you check the "Expert Settings" box in a phone book entry, you can
click on the "Expert" button.  This will pop up several options,
including an option to override the default port speed for the connect
device.
You can also set up a new connect device for each different port speed
you need.  You can do this by making copies of your current connect
device, giving each copy a unique name, then setting the appropriate
connect device for the appropriate phone book entries.
BTW, the terminal devices can be used in a similar manner to configure
settings like local echo, strip high bit, etc., which are not available
in the phone book, even under Expert settings.

I haven't had any problems since... my telix (1.15d) is registered so if I do
have problems - I can reload telix if needbe.  I think the problems do stem
from the shareware version... the "phonebook" file seem to give the most
problems.  I know when I used the shareware version - a few times my
phonebook got totally wiped (beats me how) and I couldn't use telix whatso

HEHEHE  you too!  :)

Open the phone book, hilight the entry you want to change the DTE rate

assistant: Jim,
Greetings.
As far as I know it is... I too have 1.15d for windows (mine is registered).
I don't think so - the port speed seems to be standard for all calls.
Try the port speed for 115,200 just for the heck of it. I have a 33.6 fax
modem and I connect without any difficulty - unfortunately the phone lines
have their limits - the highest I was able to connect was at 31,200.
There might be but I don't know.
The problem with the one BBS you are having troubles with may not be from
your end at all, it could be the phone lines or with the BBS itself.
Sorry if I wasn't much help.
Take care,
Pam
