I have had a recuring problem with Windows 3.0 and Telix. When telix connects, the computer locks up and even Ctrl-Alt-Del will reset it. It usually does it when I set it to dial and just let the computer set. As soon as it connects, the cursor sits right after the dial timer countdown and it is locked. If I give the computer something else to do, however, like as litle as moving the mouse, or let something else run in the foreground I don't seem to have the problem. I am running a 386-25 with Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode. Also, sometimes Windows gets pretty slow with a lot of hard drive activity. Sometimes this happens with as little as Telix and Word Perfect running at the same time. I am wondering if something in the PIFS would cause this. | James M.

Sometimes when I call my school's mainframe, using Telix, I get a bad line. When I get this bad line, my computer locks up, and I need to do a cold reboot. # Sean Starkey }:> Washington University scs2635@cec2.wustl.edu # # 520 Kingsland Road 2N 1761 Happ Road # # University City, MO 63130 Northbrook, IL 60062 # # (314) 727-4834 or 727-4529 (708) 272-2636 #

I am using a DOV ( a connection device for connecting to the Purdue mainframe without using the incoming line.) As soon as I change the com port to the DOV everything locks up. I think it is a hardware problem as some of the above might be. I know others that use Telix over the DOV and have no problems, so I would say there is something funny with the hardware. Any other sugestions? Walrus
