Message-ID: <0y5nzy+.stas@netcom.com> Date: Sun, 20 Sep 92 20:17:08 GMT Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) Lines: 28 Hi, I am having trouble with tip-ing - the reponse is something like Lock open - no such file all ports are busy I assume it is trying to find a system entry named com1.. (the main installation text says to 'tip com1', etc to download pieces by zmodem) Or perhaps all the ports have gettys attached to them so tehy are busy?? How can I get tip to dial out just by supplying a phone number, and without having to make a system entry? What should be changed in the standard gettytab to accomplish this? Thanks very much, Stan -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stan Malyshev | Open up the windows and let the fresh air out, stas@soda.berkeley.edu | said the television to the shackled children.. stas@netcom.com | - King Missile -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
