I am using NetBSD1.2... I've never had much luck with tip. Try using cu instead. From your nearest ftp'able copy of the source tree the example files in src/gnu/libexec/uucp/sample and put them in /etc/uucp. Edit /etc/uucp/port to taste and then try (as root) `cu -l tty02 dir'. You should then be talking directly to the modem. Once that's going, set up dialer and sys files correctly and you're set to type `cu hostname'. cjs -- Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
