  • legal copy of telix?

    From Ian Sutter@2:250/5 to All on Fri Mar 19 05:53:02 2021
    Hello,
    I have searched around a bit on the interwebs and I am unable to find anything on this subject. Does anyone on here know where I can legally purchase a copy of the telix communication software for DOS? I find that it is one of the best BBS terminal softwares that I can use with DOS for connecting to modern BBSs over a WiModem232.

    Thanks in advance

    I doubt it. Perhaps you can see if you can get disks on eBay.

    But it's unsupported software for an unsupported OS. Even if the owner
    is still out there, they wouldn't do anything for you.

    You'll need a couple things.... The first is a DMC DeLorean.... You'll need to go to Hill Vally and find Doc... Have the Doc install a Flux Capacitor.. and you should be good to go....

    Travel back in time to the when the software manufacturer was around to take registrations... travel back to the present and install it...

    I was watching the History channel and the Alien guy... has messy hair... says this time travel thing is real... Apparently aliens have been doing it for some time now...

    I used Telix for years without registering it... just use the unregistered version... Or do the time travel thing.... if you do that will you look me up and tell me to runaway from my now ex-wife... tell me not to buy her the house!!!

    Yeah, for Telix I would just get it from one of these two:

    https://archive.org/details/TELIX

    http://www.pcxt-micro.com/download.html

    But, what you should REALLY use is Telemate, and apparently you can get it here:

    http://www.starbase21.net/telemate.html

    It really is better.

    +1 for Telemate. Only issue I have with it is it always starts on the dialing directory window and I haven't found a way to prevent that. I want to start in the terminal window instead.
