	Actually, I've found tip/cu to be the most reliable for me
	thus far;

	For the past x months I've been using NetBSD, I've been using

	cu -t -s 19200 -a hayes -l /dev/com1

	to login to the local piece of crap dialup place.  this has the
	nice advantage that I don't have to set up /etc/phones or
	/etc/remote at all.

	Under NetBSD-current, cu seems to have changed a little bit, so
	I've been using

	cu -s 19200 -l /dev/com1

	sans probleme.


	This lets me connect to 8N1 places.  I use tip for E71 (I can't
	get the stty command to do what I want it to, so I just whack
	around with these two programs until one of them works with the
	place I'm calling :-))
