- Recent changes about Jan 82
-
- A new, improved version of tip is now available. The most important
- addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip. The
- default baud rate is 1200. To use it do:
-
- tip phone-number
- or
- tip -300 phone-number
-
- for 300 baud.
-
- A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
-
- A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
- It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
- the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip. This allows
- cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
- user specify which one he wants.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Tip can be configured in a number of ways:
-
- ACU's:
- -----
-
- ACU Define in makefile
- -------------------- ---------------
- BIZCOMP 1022, 1031 BIZ1022, BIZ1031
- DEC DF02-AC, DF03-AC DF02, DF03
- DEC DN-11/Able Quadracall DN11
- Ventel VENTEL
- Vadic 831 V831
-
- New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
- in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
-
- ACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
- If this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
- log file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.
-
- Variables:
- ---------
-
- Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
- user defined variables. These are statically initialized
- in vars.c, and from the remote file.
-
- Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
- recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
- expensive lookups. These defines are set in tip.h.
-
- Commands:
- --------
-
- The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c. Commands
- may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
- root may execute).
