Telix v3.12 Introduction 1
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Program Description
Telix is a full-featured communications program for PCs run-
ning the PC/MS-DOS operating system, that is able to meet the
needs of almost any user. Telix features include:
- an extensive range of built-in file transfer protocols,
including Zmodem, Compuserve Quick B, Xmodem, Xmo-
dem-1k, Xmodem-1k-g, Ymodem (TRUE), Ymodem-g, Kermit,
SEAlink, Telink, Modem7, and ASCII. Telix allows up to
four 'external' protocols to be defined and called from
within Telix. In this way, almost any kind of file
transfer is possible from within Telix.
- powerful multiple dialing directories, holding up to
1000 entries each. An entry contains many pieces of in-
formation required for communicating with remote ser-
vices, such as the phone number and communications pa-
rameters.
- automatic queue redialing for hard-to-reach numbers.
- reliable 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 lan-
guage.
- 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 Re-
mote DOS shell, and two access levels.
- A Chat Mode, keyboard macros, a scroll-back buffer,
session capture, usage log, translate table, and a va-
riety of other features, detailed in this manual. Above
all however, Telix is FAST, and has powerful, friendly,
user interface.
1.2 The Telix Philosophy
When Telix was written, a basic idea was kept in mind. It was
felt that a powerful program could be simple to operate, with
no loss of speed in order to achieve this ease of use.
Telix v3.12 Introduction 2
1.3 Machine Requirements
Telix will run on an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or true compatible
with one hard drive and one floppy drive, or two floppy
drives, and with at least 180k of free memory. This is memory
available after DOS has been loaded. For a few functions, such
as the DOS Shell, more memory is helpful. 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.
To get full use of Telix your modem must meet certain stan-
dards as well, especially for the Host Mode script. The Car-
rier Detect signal should not be forced high (on) by the mo-
dem, so that Telix can tell when you are online. This is usu-
ally controlled by the setting of a dip switch on the modem,
or a modem command. The DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal
should not be ignored by the modem.
1.4 Telix Files
Telix comes with a number of files and creates more in its
normal operation. Some files included in the Telix package
are:
TELIX.EXE - The Telix program itself
TELIX.DOC - The Telix program reference manual
CS.EXE - The SALT script language compiler
SALT.DOC - The SALT script language reference
CONVERTF.EXE - Converts phone directories to Telix for-
mat
HOST.SLT - The Host Mode script file (source)
HOST.SLC - The Host Mode script file (compiled)
HCONFIG.SLT - Host Mode configuration script (source)
HCONFIG.SLC - Host Mode config. script (compiled)
*.KEY - The various key definition files for the
terminals supported by Telix
Files (optionally) created and used by Telix include:
TELIX.FON - The default dialing directory file
TELIX.LD - The Long Distance Codes file
TELIX.CAP - The default session capture file
TELIX.IMG - The screen image save file
TELIX.KEY - The default user key macros defini-
tion file
HOST.CNF - The Host Mode configuration file
Telix at one time or another can have a number of files open,
especially during Host Mode and a few other instances. If
Telix tells you it is having problems opening files then it is
probable that including the line:
Telix v3.12 Introduction 3
'files=20'
in your CONFIG.SYS file could clear up the problem. This al-
lows DOS to open more files (the default is 'files=8'). For
more information on the config.sys file see your DOS manual.
1.5 Start-Up Directory
When you run Telix it will remember the disk directory you ran
it from. After this point, even if you have changed the cur-
rent directory with the 'Change directory' command, Telix will
know that it should look for its program files on the start-up
directory. Some files will also be written on this directory
unless you specify another.
If you set the environment variable 'TELIX', Telix will have
another (even better) way of knowing where to look for its
files. The command form at the DOS prompt is:
set TELIX=pathname
where pathname is a the legal DOS pathname of the directory in
which the Telix files are located. Do not leave any space be-
tween the '=' and the arguments. For example, if you used 'set
TELIX=C:\TELIX\', Telix would know to look for its files in
the Telix directory on drive C. This way, no matter where you
run it from, Telix will always be able to find its files. To
reset this environment variable to nothing the command is:
set TELIX=
For more information on environment variables see your PC/MS-
DOS manual.
Telix v3.12 Getting Started 4
2. GETTING STARTED
2.1 Starting a Telix Session
To start the Telix program type the following while at the DOS
prompt:
Telix [O] [Q] [B] [Sfilename] [Cfilename] [Ffilename]
The letters in the square brackets are optional command line
switches affecting what Telix will do upon start-up. The
square brackets should not be entered. The order and case of
the options does not matter but they MUST be separated by at
least one blank.
Specifying the 'O' option upon start-up tells Telix that you
are already online (connected to a host systems), and that it
should not try to initialize the modem.
The 'Q' option in the command line chooses quiet mode for the
current session. When quiet mode is on Telix will not sound
any alarms (e.g., when a file transfer is over), no matter
what the default setting for alarms is. This is useful for
those late night sessions. Any bell characters sent by the re-
mote system are still sounded however.
Specifying 'B' in the command line forces Telix to use the
PC's BIOS for all screen write operations, whatever the de-
fault setting for screen writes might be. This is useful when
you want to run Telix in a multi-tasking environment such as
Topview or MS Windows for just one session. Note that Telix is
DESQview aware, so you do not have to use this mode for
DESQview.
The 'S' option indicates that a script file (explained else-
where) is to be run immediately upon start-up. The 'S' should
be followed immediately (no blanks) by the name of the script
file to execute.
The 'C' option indicates that another Telix configuration file
than the standard TELIX.CNF should be used. If it doesn't ex-
ist, it will be created. In this way, you may have multiple
configurations for Telix. The name of the configuration file
should immediately follow the 'C', and should include the ex-
tension.
Telix v3.12 Getting Started 5
The 'F' option indicates that another dialing directory (FON)
file than the default TELIX.FON should be loaded at start-up.
The name should immediately follow the 'F'. Note that another
dialing directory file may also be loaded from within Telix
(in the dialing directory screen).
Upon starting, Telix will display a title screen for a period
of 25 seconds or until you press a key. Please read the mes-
sage on the title screen carefully. After you are past the ti-
tle screen, you will be in 'terminal mode' unless Telix can't
find the configuration file (usually TELIX.CNF), in which
case it will ask you a few questions about your machine and
modem, and then will write a configuration file for you.
2.2 Terminal Mode
Immediately after starting Telix, and for most of the time
while using it, you will be in Telix's terminal mode. While in
this mode any normal (ASCII) characters you type will be sent
to the modem port, and any incoming characters will be printed
on the screen. It is from the terminal mode that most Telix
commands are initiated. Most commands are selected by pressing
two keys at the same time. For example, to access the dialing
directory, you would press Alt-D. That is, while holding down
the Alt key, you press the D key.
2.2.1 The Help/Status Screen
While in terminal mode, pressing the Alt-Z sequence will
switch you to a help screen showing you a summary of all the
available commands. If the key for a command is pressed while
the help screen is still on, the screen will be turned off and
the command will be executed.
On the bottom of the help/status screen is some information
regarding some current settings and the status of the current
connection, as follows (in slightly compressed form).
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Time..10:39:00 Online .... No | Capture...Off |
| Date..06-29-88 | Printer...Off |
| Baud..2400 Terminal .. VT102 | Script....None |
| Comm..N,8,1 Port ...... COM1 | Reg. Key..TELIX.KEY |
| Echo..Off Add LF .... Off | Dial Dir..TELIX.FON |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
Items included are: the current time and date, the connect
status, the elapsed time for the call in progress, the current
communications parameters, the state of the capture file and
printer, the currently executing script file (if there is
one), the current dialing directory, the current keyboard
macro definition file, and a few other items.
Telix v3.12 Getting Started 6
2.2.2 The Status Line
Telix has an optional status line which may be displayed at
the bottom or top of the screen (it may be controlled via the
Telix Configuration Menu). The status lines displays the cur-
rent communications setting such as baud rate and parity, the
state of the Capture file, whether or not the printer is on,
the currently executing script file (scripts are explained
elsewhere), and whether Telix is On-line or Off-line.
2.3 Communications Parameters
Pressing Alt-P allows you to change the Communications Parame-
ters. This is the format in which Telix sends data over the
modem, and expects to receive it in. After pressing Alt-P a
window is displayed with the current parameters at the top,
and the options in the rest of the window. To change a value
press the letter of the setting you want.
+-| Comm Parameters |----------------+
| |
| Current: 2400,N,8,1,COM1 |
| |
| Speed Parity Data |
| |
| A: 300 J: None Q: 7 |
| B: 1200 K: Even R: 8 |
| C: 2400 L: Odd |
| D: 4800 M: Mark Stop |
| E: 9600 N: Space |
| F: 19200 S: 1 |
| F: 38400 T: 2 |
| F: 57600 O: N-8-1 |
| F: 115200 P: E-7-1 |
| |
| 1: COM1 3: COM3 5: COM5 7: COM7 |
| 2: COM2 4: COM4 6: COM6 8: COM8 |
| |
| Choice, or <Enter> to exit? |
+------------------------------------+
There are a number of parameters that can be changed. The baud
rate is the speed that you want to communicate at (it should
really be called bps rate, which stands for bits per second.
1200 baud and 2400 baud are the two most common speeds in use,
and represent about 120 and 240 characters per second, respec-
tively. Baud rates all the way up to 115200 are supported by
Telix, however a fast PC is needed for the higher rates (a
stock 4.77 MHz XT can handle 9600 and possibly 19200 baud,
higher rates need an AT class computer). Parity is a form of
error checking. Allowable parities are None, Even, and Odd.
Data bits is the number of bits in each character. Allowable
values are 7 and 8. Finally, the number of stop bits parameter
Telix v3.12 Getting Started 7
can be set to either 1 or 2. The most common format for BBS
use is a baud rate of 1200 or 2400, 8 data bits, no parity,
and 1 stop bit. On many large networks such as Compuserve, the
data format used is E71.
The communications parameters menu also allows you to select
the communications port you want to use. Note that by default
only the first four comm ports are defined (the last four are
duplicates of COM1).
Changing any parameters changes them only for the duration of
the current communications session. If you want a set of pa-
rameters to be the default when you start Telix, use the Telix
Configuration Menu.
2.4 Using Telix Menus
Whenever Telix must ask you to select an item from a group of
options, it uses the same basic type of menu. The options will
be arranged vertically for a vertically oriented menu, and
next to each other for a horizontally oriented menu. There are
two ways to select the item that you want. Each menu option
has one of its letters in bold text; pressing that letter will
select the corresponding option. As well, one option in the
menu is always highlighted in inverse video. The arrow keys on
the PC's keypad will move the highlight up and down or left
and right. When the highlight is over the option you want to
select, press Carriage Return.
2.5 Entering and Editing Strings
While using Telix, you will often have to enter a string of
characters, for example a filename, or a list of numbers to
dial. Telix gives you full editing powers when you enter a
string. As you type characters, you may use the Backspace key
to delete previously entered characters. The Left and Right
arrow keys allow you to move back and forth in the string to
edit what you have entered. By default, any characters you en-
ter overwrite any that are already there. Pressing the Ins key
will place Telix in insert mode, and any existing characters
are pushed ahead as you type. Pressing Ins once more places
you back in overwrite mode. Finally, pressing the Ctrl-Left
and Ctrl-Right arrow keys allows you to move back and forth in
the string by increments of a word.
2.6 Output String Translation
In quite a few instances while using Telix, the user must
specify a string to be sent out over the modem port. Sometimes
this string must contain characters which can not be printed
on the screen, for example, control characters, and even
pauses. There has to be a way of indicating these special
Telix v3.12 Getting Started 8
characters, and it is done through the use of special charac-
ters called translation characters. When these translation
characters are encountered in an output string they are trans-
lated into other characters. The default translation charac-
ters are:
^ - when this character is encountered in an output
string it will make the following character a con-
trol character. For example, ^A will send out the
code for Control-A. A few common control characters
are ^M, which is the Carriage Return character, ^J,
which is the Line Feed character, and ^[, which is
the Esc character. To send out the ^ character it-
self, use two ^'s, as explained above.
~ - when this character is encountered it will make
Telix pause for 1/2 a second. There is no way to
send the actual ~ character out. Two in a row will
be converted to two pauses.
There is one thing to keep in mind. These characters are only
translated on strings sent out to the modem, for example, the
dialing prefix, the hang-up string, a keyboard macro, the mo-
dem initialization string, and a few other cases.
2.7 Ending a Telix Session
To exit the Telix program, press Alt-X. Telix will ask you if
you really want to exit. Press 'Y' to confirm the exit, 'N' or
Esc to return to Telix.
If Telix detects that you are still on-line (connected to an-
other computer), it will also present a third option,
'Hang-Up'. If this option is selected, Telix will make sure
that the connection is broken before exiting.
Telix v3.12 Program Features 9
3. PROGRAM FEATURES
3.1 Hang-Up
Pressing Alt-H will make Telix attempt to hang-up the modem.
Unless this is disabled in the configuration Menu, Telix first
attempts to hang up the modem by turning off a signal on the
RS-232 port called the DTR line. This works with most modems.
If this doesn't work, Telix then sends the hang-up string de-
fined in the Configuration Menu to the modem. If this still
doesn't work and Telix detects that you are still online,
Telix will warn you. If Telix is consistently telling you that
hang-ups fail even when they work, your modem is almost cer-
tainly overriding the Carrier Detect signal. See the appendix
on common problems for the solution to this.
3.2 Capture File
Telix allows you to capture (record) data coming in from the
comm port and printed on the terminal screen, to a disk file.
To open the capture file, press Alt-L. You will be prompted
for the filename to save the log to. Press Return to use the
default filename. All data is added to the end of the file if
it exists already. To turn off the log press Alt-L again and
select the "Close" option. To temporarily pause capturing data
to the file, press Alt-L and select the "Pause" option. While
capturing is paused, any characters received are not saved to
the file. To then un-pause capturing, press Alt-L and select
the "Unpause" option.
3.3 Printer
The printer may be toggled on and off by pressing Ctrl-@ to
record information coming in from the comm port and printed on
the terminal screen. If Telix hangs when printer logging is
turned on, the printer is turned off, and should be turned on
to proceed.
3.4 Usage Log
Telix allows a usage log to be opened, which keeps track of
calls you make and file that you transfer. This is handy for
keeping a record of your long distance calls, for example. The
Usage Log is toggled on and off with the Alt-U key. If it is
currently closed, you are prompted for the name to open it to
(TELIX.USE is the default). If it is currently opened, then it
is closed. You may also set the Usage Log to be opened by de-
fault at Telix start-up (via the Configuration Menu).

Telix v3.12 Program Features 11
3.5 Scroll-Back
To review past screens of characters press Alt-B. You will be
in the Scroll-Back display. You will be able to move through
the last one thousand to 64 thousand characters received
(depending on the setting in the Configuration Menu) by using
the arrow keys to scroll line by line, the Home and End keys
to go to the beginning and end of the buffer, and the PgUp and
PgDn keys to scroll through the buffer a page at a time.
To find a certain string in the buffer press 'F'. Telix will
prompt for the string to search for. If the string is found
the line containing it will be placed at the top of the
screen. To search for the same string as last time press Re-
turn when asked for the search string.
To save the screen image to a file press 'I'. Telix will
prompt you for the file to save the image to. If the file al-
ready exists, the screen image will be appended to it. To
print out a screen image to your printer press Shift-PrtSc.
3.6 Keyboard Definitions/Macros
Telix will let you assign text to a key so that it is sent to
the comm port when that key is pressed. This is usually called
a keyboard macro, and is useful in saving keystrokes (for ex-
ample, you can assign your name to a key). Telix actually
keeps two key definitions tables in memory at all times (each
table holds the text assigned to each key), the user table and
the terminal table. The terminal table is used for terminal
emulation key assignments. When Telix is told to start emulat-
ing a certain terminal, it loads into this table definitions
specific to that terminal. Therefore, for each terminal there
is a key definition file which is loaded as needed. The user
table on the other hand is relatively constant. You might want
to assign your name to the Atl-1 key for example. This kind of
definition would be put in the user table.
When a key is pressed, Telix follows this procedure: If there
is a definition for that key in the terminal key table, send
that text; otherwise if there is a definition in the user
table for that key, send the text; otherwise if the key repre-
sents an ASCII value, send that value; otherwise if the key is
a Telix command (like Atl-D), perform that command.
The keyboard definition/macro editor is entered with the Alt-K
key sequence from terminal mode. Telix will ask you if you
want to access the user or the terminal key definition table.
Unless you wanted to modify the keys for a specific terminal,
you would always select the user table. Telix will present the
following menu:

To load definitions from a previously saved key definition
file into memory, select the 'Load' option. Telix will ask for
the name of the key definition file (and use the extension
'.KEY' if none is specified). Current key assignments will be
cleared. The standard key definition file is "TELIX.KEY" and
is loaded at start-up if it exists.
To save the current key definitions to a disk file, select the
'Save' option. Telix will ask what file to save them to, and
use the extension '.KEY' if none is specified.
Selecting 'Clear' will clear all the current key definitions
in this table.
Selecting 'Display' will show what text is assigned to each
key.
Selecting 'displayKey' will allow you to look at what is as-
signed to one specific key, by pressing it when prompted.
To actually enter or edit the text assigned to a key, select
'Edit'. Telix will print the existing definition and allow you
to edit it. Enter the characters that you want the key to send
when pressed. Control characters and pauses can be included in
the definition in the manner described previously in the man-
ual under Output String Translation. Remember that if you make
any changes they will be lost when you exit Telix unless you
use the 'Save' option as described above, to save them to
disk.
Telix also allows you to run a script file when a certain
function key is pressed. If a function key definition has an
'@' character as its first character Telix will assume the
rest of the definition is the name of a script file, and will
try to execute it. For example pressing the function key whose
definition is '@logon' would run the script file called
