Now available via standard anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.telix>TLX310-1.ARC Executable and support files. pd1:<msdos.telix>TLX310-2.ARC Telix documentation, Host Mode script source files, and dialing directory conversion program. pd1:<msdos.telix>TLX310-3.ARC SALT script language documentation. Telix is a shareware communications program for PCs running the PC/MS-DOS operating system. Features include: - an extensive range of built-in file transfer protocols, including Zmodem, Compuserve Quick B, Xmodem, Xmodem-1k, Xmodem-1k-g, Ymodem (TRUE), Ymodem-g, Kermit, SEAlink, Telink, Modem7, and ASCII. Up to four 'external' protocols may be defined and called from within Telix. - multiple dialing directories, holding up to 1000 entries each. An entry contains many pieces of information required for communicating with remote services, such as the phone number and communications parameters. - automatic queue redialing for hard-to-reach numbers. - DEC VT102 and VT52 terminal emulation. Keys may be redefined by the user. - extensive SALT script language which allows Telix to perform automated logons and many more complicated functions. As an example of the power of script files, the Telix Host Mode is written in the SALT script language. - full access to DOS including a DOS shell, a DOS Command option, and full path support. - A Host Mode with file transfers, operator paging, a Remote DOS shell, and two access levels. - A Chat Mode, keyboard macros, a scroll-back buffer, session capture, usage log, translate table, and a variety of other features, detailed in the manual. Telix is fast and has a powerful, friendly, user interface. It will run on an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or true compatible with at least 170k of free memory. For a few functions, such as the DOS Shell, more memory is needed. Telix will support up to 8 defined comm ports (COM1 through COM4 are predefined), any number of disk drives, and a printer connected to the parallel port. ---- Thanks to Ralf Brown for uploading these files to SIMTEL20. --Keith Petersen Maintainer of the CP/M and MSDOS archives at SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [26.0.0.74] Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz
