After hearing something about Telix in this  newsgroup,
I downloaded a copy.  I like the vt102 emulation and the
ability to turn off the status line.  It might replace
Procomm as my comm program of choice-- for a lot of reasons
that aren't clear to me, Procomm doesn't seem to coexist
very well with vi.

I say "might" in the paragraph above because I can't get
Kermit downloads to work with Telix.  I tell the machine
I'm comminicating with (a VAX runnining 4.3 BSD)
	kermit -p e -i -s filename

and then hit <PageDn> and Telix waits forever for the
other side to send  a "Send_Init" string (that's what
the message on this end says), and then times out.  I
copied the Kermit parameters from the way I had Procomm
set up (incidentally, Kermit transfers work perfectly
under Procomm).  I did have ine question is "handshake
char" in Procommese the same as "packet begin char" in
Telixese?  

Does anyone have any ideas?  I would really like to have
a communications program that supports a full vt102
emulation on an AT 101 keyboard (which Telix does), and
Kermit file transfer (which Procomm does).  So far I 
haven't found one that does both.
