Hello Pete,
What are you talking about? No script functions are disabled in
the ShareWare version. The ShareWare version also comes with a

Hello Herman,
No version of Telix has a max of only 19200. Adjust your
configuration in both the Telix configuration area as well as the
speed for EACH dialing directory entry you have. You will also
want auto baud turned OFF.

Door Logo, at 28.8, and on another local board (not fido) using the
same door (different BBS package) at 14.4. (same logo).
905-662-5784.
Happends with Telix, and all other comm packages, which points to her
USR upgraded to X2.  Hopefully, the v.90 upgrade, when it comes will
correct this.  Another user, using a USR X2 always gets kicked off
during a list of users using Telix.  Turn off ANSI, no problem.  This
user also gets the BW treatment also during the logo.  It kicks off
somewhere in the "wave" part of the screen.  I have a USR 28.8 of
April/95 vintage bought after the fix for the downward spiral zmodem
problem and before the &k0 fix for the buffer problem happend.

of problems and had to give up and buy Telix for Windows in the end - it was
much less trouble. I've looked around at the others to see if there was
another program which was cheaper for WIN95 and, depite trying many others,
only ZOC is as good as Telix. I preferred the look and feel of Telix (even
though it's a bit old fashined looking :-) ), and I liked the way it
automatically drops into DOORWAY mode, so I stuck to Telix. So far it has
proved a good decision.

assistant: On 19 Mar 98  15:25:02, a Gin and Tonic at the Angler's Rest overheard
Gordon Preete say to Pete Granzeau:
ProComm was one of the first shareware comm programs for the PC, back in
the 1980s.  The last shareware version was 2.4.3 (I think I have the number
correct), and then they went to ProComm Plus Version 1.0, which was
strictly commercial, sold in a box with manual (although a Test Drive of
the first version was put out on the shareware circuit, as well).  ProComm
Plus has been in a couple, maybe three versions.  Then, they brought out
ProComm Plus for Windows, going back to version 1.0--and have since taken
it up to Version 3 (for Windows 95, which is why I still use Version 2.11).
Telix was originally written by Colin Sampaleanu as a kind of clone of
ProComm.  It certainly had the "look and feel" of the original ProComm.  It
went through several versions, too, was sold by Colin while it was in
version 3.15 to Jeff Woods, who moved to North Caroline, founded deltaComm,
and continued selling Telix for DOS in version 3.2x.  deltaComm wrote Telix
for Windows (currently in version 1.15D), and had their European connection
modify Telix for DOS into version 3.51.  Telix's real strength has been the
SALT control language, a remarkably powerful tool for all sorts of
applications--but you gotta be a programmer to use it properly.  Telix, in
either version, is still strictly a comm program.
ProComm for Windows branched out into other comm facilities, like fax and
(in version 3) into Internet browsing.  It, too, has a control language,
called Aspect.

 The program "password.slc", automatically looks in the "password"
 part of TELIX and enters that password at the password prompt of
 the board you are loggin in to.  You do have to load the file name
 "password.slc" into a macro key - mine is "ALT-F10", and press it
