First, your new modem and your printer port are sharing the SAME IRQ. Change 
the new modem's IRQ back to 4 (standard com port parameters). Phoenix Bios 
and a Packard Bell mother board aren't the most stable or desirable combo 
that exists either. You didn't say wether or not you were running Telix from 
Windows (3.1 if it's a 386sx) or Dos. Do yourself a favour and run Telix 
directly from DOS. Second, make sure that Telix is configured for VT102 
emulation!!! Every Freenet I've seen runs a shell program called the Lynx 
browser, and Lynx id very picky about terminal emulation, ANSI just won't 
work period. Set your init string to ATZcr. Unless your freenet is using old 
USR/HST 16600 modems you should be able to connect just fine.
