- "Using FAXCTRL with TELIX"
- ~02
- TELIX, Copyright 1986-88 by Exis, Inc., is a popular shareware
- communications program. Interfacing TELIX with FAXCTRL is fairly simple.
-
- We do not intend to give a tutorial on how to use, setup, or operate the
- HOST mode under Telix. We believe that the author(s) did that very well in the
- instructions provided with Telix. Therefore, we will only demonstrate how to
- interface FAXCTRL with Telix's HOST mode.
-
- Included in FAXCTL.EXE are two files related to Telix, FHOST.SLT and
- FHOST.SLC. If you've been using Telix for some time you already know that the
- .SLC extension is a compiled SALT file. This HOST file is identical with the
- HOST.SLC file provided with TELIX with two exceptions. One the commands that
- terminate the host mode have been changed so a full exit is made to the DOS
- level and back to FAXCTRL. The other is the addition of a timer during the
- waiting for call loop. This host file provides for a little over a minute before
- it will exit back to FAXCTRL. This is invaluable if FAXCTRL is triggered by a
- false-one-ring signal.

- The Steps
- ~02
- (1)·Edit the file FAXHOST.BAT so that the line:
- : TELIX Q B Sfhost
- is active. That is, remove the leading ": "
- TELIX Q B Sfhost
-
- (2)·Make sure that the script file provided, FHOST.SLC, is where Telix can
- find it. The best place is usually in the directory with your Telix HCONFIG.SLC
- file is located.
-
- (3)·Optionally, you can adjust the amount of time that Telix waits for you
- to call back before aborting back to FAXCTRL. Look for the line
- "t·=·timer_start(700);" in the FHOST.SLT file. "700" represents 70 seconds.
- Adjust this value to whatever is appropriate for your needs.
-
- (4)·Follow the FAXCTRL documentation to login to your host system.
-
- (5)·When you're ready to logoff, use the [G]oodbye command.

- Briefly here are the changes needed to ANY Telix host script you might be using
- ~02
- Add the following line after most any hangup procedure, exiting, or aborting
- the HOST mode. ~03
- Exittelix (0,1);
-
- ~02
- Add the folloing lines within your HOST script file:
- ~03
- int t;
- // initialize the timer variable to an integer //
- t = timer_start(700);
- // initialize the timer with 1/10 of seconds you want //
- if (time_up(t)) {
- Exittelix (0);
- }
- // insert this condition within the loop which waits for a caller //
- timer_free(t);
- // use this to free the variable t once someone has logged in //
