Annotation of 43BSDTahoe/usr.bin/tip/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: Tip can be configured in a number of ways:
                      2: 
                      3: ACU's:
                      4: -----
                      5: 
                      6: ACU                            Define in makefile
                      7: --------------------           ---------------
                      8: BIZCOMP 1022, 1031             BIZ1022, BIZ1031
                      9: DEC DF02-AC, DF03-AC           DF02, DF03
                     10: DEC DN-11/Able Quadracall      DN11
                     11: Ventel                         VENTEL
                     12: Vadic 831                      V831
                     13: 
                     14: New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
                     15: in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
                     16: 
                     17: ACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
                     18: If this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
                     19: log file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.
                     20: 
                     21: Variables:
                     22: ---------
                     23: 
                     24: Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
                     25: user defined variables.  These are statically initialized
                     26: in vars.c, and from the remote file.
                     27: 
                     28: Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
                     29: recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
                     30: expensive lookups.  These defines are set in tip.h.
                     31: 
                     32: Commands:
                     33: --------
                     34: 
                     35: The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c.  Commands
                     36: may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
                     37: root may execute).
                     38: 
                     39: 
                     40: 
                     41: --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     42: 
                     43: Recent changes about Jan 82 
                     44: 
                     45: A new, improved version of tip is now available.  The most important
                     46: addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip.  The
                     47: default baud rate is 1200.  To use it do:
                     48: 
                     49:        tip phone-number
                     50: or
                     51:        tip -300 phone-number
                     52: 
                     53: for 300 baud.
                     54: 
                     55: A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
                     56: 
                     57: A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
                     58: It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
                     59: the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip.  This allows
                     60: cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
                     61: user specify which one he wants.
