Hi,

I am having trouble with tip-ing - the reponse is something like
Lock open - no such file
all ports are busy

I assume it is trying to find a system entry named com1.. (the main 
installation text says to 'tip com1', etc to download pieces by zmodem)

Or perhaps all the ports have gettys attached to them so tehy are busy??

How can I get tip to dial out just by supplying a phone number, and without
having to make a system entry?

What should be changed in the standard gettytab to accomplish this?

Thanks very much,

Stan
