assistant: Hi to all!!
  I bought recently the registred version (1.15d) of telix for windows and
I'm using it on a 386DX25 with 4mg ram with a zoltrix 14400 bauds modem
under windows 3.1.
  I don't have any sound card in this machine and when i get connected on
a bbs i can't hear the alarm that i was hearing with the dos version, so i
don't know when i'm connected...
  Is there a way to tell telix to play the alarm through the pc speaker?
  Any suggestions?

Write your reply.

assistant: I know I have seen more than one way of doing it but I will explain how
 I do it.
 Under Configure select connect devices and set it to Telnet.  This will
 stop TFW from trying to Init the modem when TFW is loaded.
 Next setup a phone book entry for the site you want to Telnet to.  When
 setting up the ph book entry make the connect device Telnet and for the
 phone number use the Domain name of the site or the dot number address.
 Other things can be set in the phone book entry as you need (ie capture
 file, log file, script file, etc).

Uh...  I thought you had to have a "null modem cable" hooked between
the computer's serial ports.
I _think_ if you use the modems, you have to use the telco in order to
have all the signals needed to let the modems understand whats going
on.
I just looked all the way through my modem's manual and both manuals
for TELIX...  Only things I could find were about serial port/serial
port connections via a null modem cable.
I just bought a new computer and I have transferred many files by
calling my new comp with the old one...  I have two phone lines/#s in
my house, makes it pretty easy.  Just get to terminal mode on both,
manual dial (or set up a phn bk entry), type ata when you see "ring"
on the machine you are calling.
Anyway, could be wrong, but I think you gotta use telco to use modems.

Go to "Sounds..." on the Configuration Menu, make sure they're not set

I don't have a sound card on my old comp, either, and I didn't have to

If you set "Sounds.." up and still nothing, make sure your PC's

Should be that simple.

I've done this a few times.  It's simply ATA on one end, and ATX1D on

You can use the modems if you want. Just set the calling ones X

fax/modem (Telix detect it as a Generic High Speed) plug on com 2 irq 3
  Here is my init string: AT&C1&D2M0V1X4S0=0S7=55S11=60.
  I try to take the Zoltrix modem from the list but telix don't want to
dial any numbers in this config.
  Any suggestions?

If this is the driver I think it is, there is somewhere in the config
that you can change the way this driver uses interupts.  If configured
improperly, it can slow down a comm program.
What have you got the port speed set to?  Be sure it is at least 38600.
Confirm Buffer sizes set to 24/8, flow control to CTS/RTS.
WAIT!!!!!!  Are you getting transfer rates of around 1600 CPS?  Is so,
then there is really no problem -- your modem is reporting DTE and
Telix is calculating the efficiency based on that instead of on the DCE.
Just add S95=47 to the above init string.

assistant: No, two modems will speak to each other through a piece of phone cord just
fine.  ATX1D [Enter] on one, ATA [Enter] on the other.
For ZModem file transfers, that's probably all that's needed.  If you want
other things typed between modems, one of them needs to have both local
echo and remote echo activated in the comm program.

assistant: Well, I have registered Telix, via the auto-registration, and I had
wrote very plainly on the form, 'send double density disks'.  The
package came in a short time, I now have a nice printed manual,
although there really isn't any need for one, and a HIGH DENSITY disk!
Telix, for DOS, is definately designed to run in less than 640k, so
why would it need to be on a larger than 720k disk?
I think Telix is a good program.  It does everything I need in a
quick and easy way.  It was touted as a 'lean and mean communications
machine', but it also had way more that I don't need, like the host+
which I only tryed once to play a door-game by calling myself so I
would have no time limit(hehe) and that salt-simple I don't need as
for me the fun of bbsing is getting online interactively.  And then
they added mouse support.  Mousing slows you down.  Some commands you
just can't do with a mouse, and it is always a guess as to which
button (left or right).   I am sure glad that all the key commands
still work!
There, I have vented my steam.  I will try to call their 800 number
tomorrow, but it will be Saturday so they may be closed, and I won't
have a weekday off untill the week after Christmass.
If I can't reach them Saturday, maybe someone here has a direct, fast
connection to delta.  Too bad they don't participate in this fido
echo.  I will post tomorrow night with the results of my trying to
call them.
