I have just recently set up a machine running 386BSDi, version 1.0 and
am having problems getting tip to work at all.  I have read the FAQ,
and three different system administration books, and all they have to
say as well as man pages on several systems.

Here are my /etc/remote, /etc/phones, and the error message that I get
when I try to use tip.  There is no getty process running on the tty
at the time, or anything like that which would complicate matters
(right now), and I have configured everything as the FAQ has said,
taking my system setup into account (my modem is on COM3).  I would
appreciate any help that you can offer.
