 Please take a look at the rules I am posting as another message within
 this mail packet.
 You are not allowed to discuss stealing of software in this echo.
 Trying to get a patch to make a program registered with out paying the
 registration fee is stealing.
 Telix for Windows(TFW) can not be upgraded in this manner anyway. The
 registered version is a complete different version than the shareware.
 If you want the registered version get in touch with deltaComm and pay
 the registration fee and you will get the registered version.
 You can contact them at 1-800-859-8000 or www.delta.com

Write your reply.

assistant: Make sure telix us using the same com-port number as DOS, telix numbers them
by their address, dos numbers them 1,2,3 etc
if the host modem is on com4 and the computer has no com3 (this is my setup)
dos (BIOS) would call the modem com3, you'll have to set the host telix to
call the modem com3 (alt-O,C, adjust as apropriate, alt-O,T,A, adjust... ,
nd
write to disk, restart and try again)
Also you may need to do a hard reset some BIOSs (AMI here) can't see 16550s,
if they're in the wrong mode and you you boot warm. If BIOS can't see it dos
won't hear about it.
bye.
PS: I've set my 8-bit com4 modem to use IRQ15 (using a patch cable and a
iece
of cardboard - it works great) if anyone wants to know how, just ask. :)
So my setup in telix is com3= 2e8, 15 ( for normal com4 this 15 would be 3)

   Yes, they do. Or at least the Relay operated by AT&T in PA, MD, and

The point is, of course, that limiting TDD calls to other TDDs pretty badly
limits the ability to communicate to those in the deaf community (just like
ASL in that respect).  A relay permits the deaf to call the druggist, the
plumber, the gas company, the AAA, and so forth, even if they don't have a
TDD.

telix when the test
period has expired, and I re-install it, for a next test ?....
Official, this is not cisidered illigal !
And besides, I'm a programmer to, and I also want people to buy my product,
but
what the hell do I care if they don't, when they don't they miss a few very
important
options !, so eh...I don't know, but when I have the money I'll register it ,
believe me, just
until that time, I have better things to do. (This is not meand hately)
Oh I do appriciate telix, but, I have to have me a job first, and I'm seeking
it.
And until that time, I don't have to explain myself to nobody.

My question is, are there any benefits to upgrading to the Windows version?
What are the differences between the DOS and TFW versions? Considering that
DeltaComm does not seem to be planning any further upgrades or versions,
should I go ahead and spend the bucks (which I can really afford being
unemployed for over a year now.)
