tip or cu?Actually, the man page for tip is out of date. There is a
generic Hayes dialer already built in. Just use
``at=hayes'' in your /etc/remote file.
The Hayes driver isn't smart enough to recognize some of the
advanced features of newer modems---messages like BUSY,
NO DIALTONE, or CONNECT 115200 will just confuse it.
You should turn those messages off when you use tip (using
ATX0&W).
Also, the dial timeout for tip is 60 seconds. Your modem
should use something less, or else tip will think there's a
communication problem. Try ATS7=45&W.
Actually, as shipped tip doesn't yet support it fully. The
solution is to edit the file tipconf.h in the directory
/usr/src/usr.bin/tip/tip Obviously you need the source
distribution to do this.
Edit the line ``#define HAYES 0'' to ``#define HAYES
1''. Then ``make'' and ``make install''. Everything
works nicely after that.
