  • 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.

    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.
