11.14. Great---but how can I do that without having to specify the bps rate on the command line?

Put in an entry for tip1200 or cu1200, but go ahead and use whatever bps rate is appropriate with the br capability. tip thinks a good default is 1200 bps which is why it looks for a ``tip1200'' entry. You don't have to use 1200 bps, though.
