        !             4: remote \- remote host description file
        !             5: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             6: The systems known by
        !             7: .IR tip (1C)
        !             8: and their attributes are stored in an ASCII file which
        !             9: is structured somewhat like the
        !            10: .IR termcap (5)
        !            11: file.  Each line in the file provides a description for a single
        !            12: .IR system .
        !            13: Fields are separated by a colon (``:'').
        !            14: Lines ending in a \e character with an immediately following newline are
        !            15: continued on the next line.
        !            16: .PP
        !            17: The first entry is the name(s) of the host system.  If there is more
        !            18: than one name for a system, the names are separated by vertical bars.
        !            19: After the name of the system comes the fields of the description.  A
        !            20: field name followed by an `=' sign indicates a string value follows.  A field
        !            21: name followed by a `#' sign indicates a following numeric value.
        !            22: .PP
        !            23: Entries named ``tip*'' and ``cu*''
        !            24: are used as default entries by 
        !            25: .IR tip ,
        !            26: and the
        !            27: .I cu

        !            29: .IR tip ,
        !            30: as follows.  When
        !            31: .I tip
        !            32: is invoked with only a phone number, it looks for an entry
        !            33: of the form ``tip300'', where 300 is the baud rate with
        !            34: which the connection is to be made.  When the
        !            35: .I cu
        !            36: interface is used, entries of the form ``cu300'' are used.
        !            37: .SH CAPABILITIES
        !            38: Capabilities are either strings (str), numbers (num), or boolean
        !            39: flags (bool).  A string capability is specified by 
        !            40: .IR capability = value ;
        !            41: e.g. ``dv=/dev/harris''.  A numeric capability is specified by
        !            42: .IR capability # value ;
        !            43: e.g. ``xa#99''.  A boolean capability is specified by simply listing
        !            44: the capability.

        !            61: host is reached through port selector, this
        !            62: might be set to the appropriate sequence
