Since I have installed Ultrix 2.0 my tip lines are not working. I have been working with Dec support on this problem but we haven't been able to figure it out. Steps that I am doing: 1. Tip the phone number "tip 806097346500" 2. The debugger is turned on and shows that the system is dialing. 3. It says "connecting" but nothing happens. 4. I break out of the tip program and I get the message "disconnected" and then my screen gets hung. We are using hayes modems not dec modems. I've been changing the /etc/acucap but nothing seems to work. Does anyone else have this problem with tip?

Reply-Path: One bug I found with SunUNIX 'tip', possibly still existing, was that it wouldn't communicate with Hayes-compatible 2400-baud (USR Courier). The Courier had a default status code set that was different from the Hayes 1200 one, so when it made a 2400-baud connect, it returned a status code which tip couldn't recognize. Fix was/is to MANUALLY enter the following whenever the modem is powered up (what you type is preceded by a tab or prompt: blorp% tip cua0 connected ATX0 < this is not echoed > 0 ~. disconnecting...[EOT] blorp% ATX0 selects the ordinary 1200 status codes. Reason I write is the symptoms were something like to what you described: even though the remote site was picking up fine, I'd always get 'call failed'. good luck -TW
