Hi folks, yet another very basic question

What is the correct way to determine who is currently available "online" - for example, for an i-Telex conversation?

thank you and best wishes

Hi Andy,

If you relate to the chat function of the telexforum, just go to the mChat page and look at the bottom of the page under who is chatting.
This will show you the "names" of the folks who have the chat page actually open for reading, checking or writing ...

Hi Andy

if your question regards the "real" i-Telex with the noisy equipment, then there is an unwritten "law" your Teleprinter should be online 24/7
But in real life, not everybody does it, so to find out if somebody is reachable, just dial the number and you will get (maybe) some answer if you are lucky, most of the time the i-Telex is not surveyed 24/7 so a chat in real-time with a teleprinter will be considered "only in rare occasions"

My RFT F2000 is 24/7/365 online but despite of that I can't answer you every time you may call me, but you can leave a message and I will respond within 24h normally

Wish you good luck with your i-Telex

Hi Andy,

My FS200 is online 24/7 but is not in the house - it has to live in the shack.

I have a temporary setup at 299709 in the dining room here whilst I prepare for a demonstration at the RSGB hamfest next month.

But is you ever want to send telex then my main number will always receive a connection - I will replay as soon as i see a message.
