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

45A new, improved version of tip is now available. The most important
46addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip. The
47default baud rate is 1200. To use it do:
48
49 tip phone-number
50or
51 tip -300 phone-number
52
53for 300 baud.
54
55A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
56
57A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
58It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
59the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip. This allows
60cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
61user specify which one he wants.
