    Has anyone heard anything about a newer version 4.00 of the Telix telecom
program?  I use it a lot, so I'm really interested in getting a newer version
(not that there's anything wrong with the old one) and it seems like 3.12 has
been out for a long time.  Alternatively, has anyone who has ever used Telix
seen anything at all better?  What I really need is something that does
term emulation >vt102, preferably with Tek4010 or better graphics( yes, I know
Kermit 3.01 has this, but I need something with modem support and Zmodem
built in.)


BTW: If any of you ever get the chance to look into a fiberoptic transfer line
while it's running - you know, just to see if it's working - Don't.
You get a migraine that makes splitting your head open with an axe sound good.
(A friend of mine did this - the fiber line, not the axe.)  I'm not sure why,
but I think it has something to do with the brain's picking the light pulses
up as something more than just a dim yellowish light.

(On the other hand, it could be translation problems- the line was for an
IBM token ring(EBCDIC) - Is the human brain ASCII?)
