No it's not. Telix displays a message prompting you to press any jey
when it has made a connection. If you press a key then you are
immediately on-line. There is NO WAY to get around this unless you
want to patch Telix. The TPOINT SLT script had a 1 second delay in a
few places because Paul said that the system needed some delays, so
I put them in. It turns out that they were not needed so you can
delete them if you wish.

BL>  That too... there is a fairly long wait after the upload, before
BL> Telix moves on to the download. Brenton puts something like: "Now
BL> we'll see if there is any fucking stuff for us..." on the screen, and
BL> it waits 3 seconds (say) before that happens. Then it waits another
BL> couple of seconds before it actually starts.

That is Pauls end. I _think_ that Pauls end is also responsible for
the wait which we see sometimes before the transfer to us completes.

PE> Well, Zmodem has it's foot in the door now, which means when
PE> that is expanded a bit, the FTS-4 negotiation is simple enough,
PE> and I can have a completely "C" version of the Devil Dialer,
PE> and thus TinyPoint. Are you interested in trying that out when
PE> I have it ready?
BL>  Yair!

Sucker :)
