The author asks $39 for Telix after a 45 day evaluation period. Telix supports ZModem internally, which means you can (optionally) have Telix automatically initiate the ZModem protocol when the remote system begins sending a file. The script language looks a lot like C, and is compiled into a tokenized form. The language is powerful enough that BBS systems have been written in it. I've used Telix for quite some time. It handles high speed lines, e.g., 19,200 bps into a port selector, very well. If your system has a 16550 UART, Telix will detect it and enable the 16550's internal buffers. >2) A tar program for the IBM > >Looked at the good ftp sites, and haven't seen either or these...
