|
|
New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
|
|
|
|
|
in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
|
|
|
|
|
If this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
|
|
|
|
|
log file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Variables:
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
|
|
|
|
|
user defined variables. These are statically initialized
|
|
|
|
|
in vars.c, and from the remote file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
|
|
|
|
|
recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
|
|
|
|
|
expensive lookups. These defines are set in tip.h.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commands:
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c. Commands
|
|
|
|
|
may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
|
|
|
|
|
root may execute).

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