Actually, I've found tip/cu to be the most reliable for me thus far; For the past x months I've been using NetBSD, I've been using cu -t -s 19200 -a hayes -l /dev/com1 to login to the local piece of crap dialup place. this has the nice advantage that I don't have to set up /etc/phones or /etc/remote at all. Under NetBSD-current, cu seems to have changed a little bit, so I've been using cu -s 19200 -l /dev/com1 sans probleme. This lets me connect to 8N1 places. I use tip for E71 (I can't get the stty command to do what I want it to, so I just whack around with these two programs until one of them works with the place I'm calling :-)) Marc 'em. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Wandschneider Seattle, WA Barney the Dinosaur sings!
