I am trying to run the recently-posted Telix (thanks, bill) on a PC with a Wavemate 286 Bullet-board. I am using the 'O' option to talk to a directly-connect Unix box. Telix writes the 'Press Alt-Z for help..' line near the top of the screen, then draws a box in the middle of the screen. The box displays alternating 'Add Linefeeds On' and 'Add Linefeeds Off' messages, and appears to lock up the system. Some keys (eg Break, the Alt keys) will momentarily clear the box, and Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot. Has anyone else come across this? BTW, I have borrowed a standard PC to try Telix on, and it seems to work well (I am writing this msg with it), but I shall have to stick with Kermit on the '286 if I can't get it to talk to Unix. -- Enjoy, yerluvinunclesimon Opinions are mine - my cat has her own ideas Reach me at sar@datcon.co.uk, or ...!mcvax!ukc!pyrltd!datcon!sar

Well, the problem _isn't_ because of what machine you are connecting to, unless something real freaky is happening, however this is extremely unlikely. Most likely, telix is conflicting with something in your system. Try removing all resident programs that aren't necessary... then try reconfiguring telix so it won't use direct screen i/o and instead uses BIOS. Your machine may not be 100% compatable, or there could be a hardware conflict of some type as well. L.
