2Tip can be configured in a number of ways:
3
4ACU's:
5-----
6
7ACU Define in makefile
8-------------------- ---------------
9BIZCOMP 1022, 1031 BIZ1022, BIZ1031
10DEC DF02-AC, DF03-AC DF02, DF03
11DEC DN-11/Able Quadracall DN11
12Ventel VENTEL
13Vadic 831 V831
14
15New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
16in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
17
18ACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
19If this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
20log file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.
21
22Variables:
23---------
24
25Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
26user defined variables. These are statically initialized
27in vars.c, and from the remote file.
28
29Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
30recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
31expensive lookups. These defines are set in tip.h.
32
33Commands:
34--------
35
36The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c. Commands
37may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
38root may execute).

44Recent changes about Jan 82
45
46A new, improved version of tip is now available. The most important
47addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip. The
48default baud rate is 1200. To use it do:
49
50 tip phone-number
51or
52 tip -300 phone-number
53
54for 300 baud.
55
56A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
57
58A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
59It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
60the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip. This allows
61cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
62user specify which one he wants.
