- The following is a brief summary of tips on running Telix in DV.
-
- In DV setup, Performance menu: ticks 2 and 2 or 3 and 3, Optimize
- comm: Y, and if you have a 386(or SX), DOS buffers for EMS: 0, unless
- you use a network adaptor.
-
- Tell DV that your Telix window is not allowed to swap out, it CAN run
- in background, and give it a couple of K of system memory.
-
- Add noff.shr or noff.shp (they are the same program, but the ext name
- got changed in DV 2.26) in the shared program section of the DV PIF
- for Telix. In some cases, you may help your comm program by adding
- noff.shp to something else, such as WordPerfect, which needs it in DV.
-
- If your external modem is running at 9600 bps or above, try to get a
- NS16550AFN UART chip for your serial adapter.
-
- If your modem supports flow control and if you lock the modem/serial
- port connection (DTE/DCE) at a fixed speed be sure to tell Telix:
- auto baud detect OFF, otherwise, set it ON. If you do lock DTE/DCE at
- a fixed speed, you will need to turn on flow control. Use CTS/RTS
- flow controls if your modem supports it (if your modem manual doesn't
- mention it, then it doesn't support it!). (Do NOT use DSR/DTR flow
- control on phone lines.)
-
- Shadow ram your video rom, if you can but aren't already.
-
- Tell Telix to use direct screen writes, but tell DV that it does not
- write directly to screen. (I know it seems contradictory, but for
- Telix 3.12 in DV it's the way to do it).
-
- In Configure Telix, Protocol options, File xfer disk buffer size: use a
- small number, 1 to 4, especially if you do not use a disk cache program.

- DV PIF excerpts for Telix 3.12 in DV 2.26 QEMM 5
- Options:
- Writes text directly to screen...: [N] (See above discussion)
- Displays graphics information....: [N] (ASCII graphics will still work)
- Virtualize text/graphics (Y,N,T).: [N] (Y not needed by Telix)
- Uses serial ports (Y,N,1,2)......: [2] or [1], whichever
-
- Pathname..: c:\dv\noff.shp
-
- Runs in background (Y,N,blank).. [Y]
- Can be swapped out (Y,N,blank) [N]
