assistant: On 19.05.98 Lars van Dijk wrote the following to Bernd Giesen
in TELIX:
Yes, of course it is illegal. Normally you are granted a right to test the
shareware version of a software product only once, that is for ONE period
(usually about 30 days, not n*30 days). Otherwise there would never would
be any need to distribute a shareware release, since you could it directly
release it as freeware, which is not in a sense of a shareware developer.
Think it over!
See above! Normally, if you want to use shareware, you must agree to
the licence terms shipped with the shareware. This also contained the
granted right of using it for a (1) LIMITED period! If you're using
shareware ignoring these terms, you're behaving illegal!
Well, if you think so, it isn't reasonable for me to discuss with you
about that any longer.

assistant: Hey, I don't mean it :)
But ok I agree I must register telix, but I really mean it, when there;s no
money I can't !
Listen to me:
I'm a Software developper too, and when people use my software
and do not register, Fine. They miss a lot of extra features and options.
But I'm not going to force them, because I someone doesn't have the money,
the chain reaction of :"hey look at this, It's very cool!" stops. And that's
the least
thing I want. And my program just costs $5,- And that's less then Telix. So
count on your fingers how much registrations I must sell to buy Telix.
And it's very difficult to sell anything these days. Especially when you
on't
advertise.
So please see it in my eye's. I Like but I can't !
I know you find this a weak excuse, but It's the truth.

assistant: He is running Telix (DOS)
    What do TFW and TFD stand for and what are they used for?
    Only thing that i would like is for the batch file to log the user
on to the bbs as well as setting the ports etc.. So the batch file would
probable look like...
C:
CD\
CD\ {Directory}\
Telix S{Script to just get him on line so he can play, calls the number
    etc..}
{END.}
But then of corse i would need to know how the Salt Script is read or
the FTD.
    I could some day think about doing that in the fucher but for now I
just want him to be able to call the bbs. He has asked me that he could
never get on and he does not know all those Telix key commands so.

compile it with CS.EXE, stick it (start.slc) in your script directory

CD-ing to the telix directory.
 telix /sstart
This wil dial the first BBS in your diailing directory, and run the log-in

if you want it to give-up after a certain number of tries.
change the second 0 to a 1 if you don't want to run the linked login script.

Write your reply.

assistant: TFW = Telix for Windows and TFD = Telix for DOS
 The script can be a simple as just dialing the number or it could also
 send the users name and password.
 Do I assume that you do not have Telix and you are trying to get a user
 that has Telix setup.  To start with it might be better to use a Telix
 simple script.  A Simple script converts English terms to a Salt
 script.
 Salt and Simple scripts must be compiled.  A compiler for each come
 with Telix.  To compile Salt you need CS.EXE and to compile Simple you
 need CSS.EXE in addition to CS.EXE.
 Now with the above said here is a small Salt script that may be what
 you are looking for to get him started.  It will have to be modified to
 reflect the proper phone number.  If it is a local call the "1" and
 area code can be deleted.
main()
 {
  set_cparams(38400, 0, 8, 1);
  dial("m1-517-555-1234", 10, 1);
 }
 As stated above the script after modified with proper phone number must
 be compiled with "CS.EXE".  Then launch Telix with the command line of
 "Telix sxxx" where xxx = name you gave to script.
 I seen in another message to someone else you mentioned setting the
 comm parameters. the "set_cparams" command above does this.  One word
 of caution.  I got this from the TFW manual not TFD(did not have TFW
 manual handy when I typed this).  There are a few extra commands in the
 TFW setup so am not sure if this is a good command in TFD, but it did
 compile with the DOS ver of CS.EXE.
 After launching TFD go to <ALT O> and there is provisions to set the
 comm parameters so they will always be set the way you want them.
 If there comes a time the user wants the script to send his name and
 password it can be added later.

Write your reply.

assistant: yes, for that you replace the "1" with "m" then your phone number.
    that's an illegal config, you can't have no stop-bit or
    have parity and 8 bits of data. so I'll assume you mean
    "8N1" No parity, 8 data, 1 stop - standard BBS config :)
D,S,P is a bit harder.
you need to use "set_cparms"
     baud rate- no change.           .data bits 7 or 8
                          \.       ./
 like this set_cparms(get_baud(),0,8,1);
                                /^   ^\
  parity 1=even /2=odd / 0=none'       `stop bits, 1 or 2
The baud rate here is the computer-modem baud rate so it shopuldn't need
changing from the default unless you have a really ancient modem.
try this one:
      main(){
       set_cparms(get_baud(),0,8,1);
       dial("m275-6754",0,1);
       }
