14.0. "Send a telex through MEMO?" by 50279::TRINH () Fri Sep 29 1989 17:52

    	Hello Stefan,
    
    	I have been asked several times why it is not possible to send a
    	Telex from ALL-IN-1/VMSmail through MRMEMO and then MEMO, and don't
    	know the answer.
    
    	Please help.

14.1How does it fail?STKHLM::OLSSONAnders OlssonMon Oct 02 1989 09:145
    In what way is it not possible?  How far does the message go?  Does it
    come back to the sender?  Does it disappear?  Could you please give some
    more information about how it fails?

14.2Fix from version 1 to version 2STKOFF::SPERSSONPas de ProblemeMon Oct 02 1989 10:2718
    Hung,
        
    The communication protocol between MEMO and MRMEMO specifies an
    attribute which enables/disables Telex traffic through MEMO. In the
    first versions this attribute was always set disabled by us (I guess
    we wanted the MEMO users to use MRT to use our "MAILbus backbone"
    instead of the other way round). However, due to heavy requirements
    from certain user communities we changed this from versions 1.* to
    version 2.0, so that telex traffic should now be possible.
    
    So, if your customers are still using version 1.*, then please tell
    them to upgrade to V2.0, otherwise we may have a problem and then
    you need to be more specific about your description of it.
    
    cheers,
    
    	Stefan
14.3Addressing syntaxPETRUS::TRINHMon Oct 02 1989 11:525
    	Thanks for the clear answer. Maybe it didn't work due to the wrong
    	addressing syntax. Any hints?

    Yesterday I spoke to a Verimation representative, and his statement
    was:
    
    There are two possible addressing syntaxes for telex. One is
    exemplified by:
    
    1) TLX.COMPANY
    
    where TLX is the general telex distribution group and COMPANY is
    a predefined (in the MEMO directory) telex address. This should work.
    
    The other addressing syntax is:
    
    2) tx=12345 ASB
    
    This does not work because of bugs in MEMO/Gateway (which, for clarity,
    is their software, not ours)
    
    
    However, even with alternative 1, there may be bugs in early versions
    of MEMO/Gateway which still make it impossible to send telexes.
    This should be possible to fix on site with a ZAP (apparently an
    equivalent to our PATCH utility). Please get in touch with your local
    friendly Verimation representative to check this out. If none is
    available then contact me and I'll give you a number to ring in
    Gothenburg, where their headquarters are.
