[comp.sys.next] A question for "tip" hacker

Question: How to use "tip" to do auto dial-up,redial,polling dial-up ?

I use "tip" command to dial-in my accont in shool lab.
It is a very unconvient to do manually dial-up if the lines 
are busy. I know there are some softeware(share/3rd Party...) to deal
with auto dial-in and redial. 

In Buzznug#? the auto dial-in ,polling,redial function in tip are left
as "Homework" ;-< I tried to do that homework serveral times,but failed.
I tried tongiht and failed again ;-<<. The happy tip hackers please
give me a pointer why I failed to auto dial-in ,redial...
Or email me sample /etc/remote and /etc/phones file

Thanx for your help to make my life easier .
