1Tip can be configured in a number of ways:
2
3ACU's:
4-----
5
6ACU Define in makefile
7-------------------- ---------------
8BIZCOMP 1022, 1031 BIZ1022, BIZ1031
9DEC DF02-AC, DF03-AC DF02, DF03
10DEC DN-11/Able Quadracall DN11
11Ventel VENTEL
12Vadic 831 V831
13
14New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
15in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
16
17Variables:
18---------
19
20Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
21user defined variables. These are statically initialized
22in vars.c, and from the remote file.
23
24Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
25recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
26expensive lookups. These defines are set in tip.h.
27
28Commands:
29--------
30
31The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c. Commands
32may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
33root may execute).

41A new, improved version of tip is now available. The most important
42addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip. The
43default baud rate is 1200. To use it do:
44
45 tip phone-number
46or
47 tip -300 phone-number
48
49for 300 baud.
50
51A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
52
53A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
54It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
55the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip. This allows
56cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
57user specify which one he wants.
