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 | ||
| 13 | New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table | |
| 14 | in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | ACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile. | |
| 17 | If this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the | |
| 18 | log file, define PRISTINE in the makefile. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Variables: | |
| 21 | --------- | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly) | |
| 24 | user defined variables. These are statically initialized | |
| 25 | in vars.c, and from the remote file. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly | |
| 28 | recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid | |
| 29 | expensive lookups. These defines are set in tip.h. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Commands: | |
| 32 | -------- | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c. Commands | |
| 35 | may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only | |
| 36 | root may execute). | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | ||
| 39 | ||

| 42 | Recent changes about Jan 82 (documentation still needs | |
| 43 | to be updated): | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | ||
| 46 | A new, improved version of tip is now available. The most important | |
| 47 | addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip. The | |
| 48 | default baud rate is 1200. To use it do: | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | tip phone-number | |
| 51 | or | |
| 52 | tip -300 phone-number | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | for 300 baud. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well. | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program. | |
| 59 | It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really | |
| 60 | the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip. This allows | |
| 61 | cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the | |
| 62 | user specify which one he wants. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | If you have any trouble with either of these programs, please let | |
| 65 | me know as soon as possible so that I may fix them. | |
