Well, it may not be a tip problem, but nevertheless... Scenario: - From a DECstation3100, Ultrix4.0, I open a DXterm session on a VAXstation3100 with Ultrix 3.1: dxterm -e rlogin host - From this window, I use tip to connect to a remote system via a modem. - When finished with the remote system, I type "~." to tip. Almost immediately the DXterm window disappears. On the VAXstation, the tip process stays alive, and desperately keeps dialing the remote system only to disconnect as soon as it gets a connection. Then is dials again etc etc.. When using tip straight from the VAXstation everything works fine. Sounds familiar to someone?

Almost > immediately the DXterm window disappears. 'rlogin' also uses "~" as its escape character. In your case, to exit the 'tip' session you must type "~~." Another way around this problem is either to use a different escape character for 'rlogin' (eg. rlogin -e@) or to define a different escape character to 'tip' in your .tiprc file (es=@).
