Hi. I am using tip to connect from a shell to serial lines (e.g. to a modem), with AIX 3.1 (9040 or something like that - later than 9021) on a 730. I've noticed that the set of tip variables described in the tip man page is quite different from those maintained by the tip program. I'd like to turn off the "escape", "force" and "raisechar" functions. Has anyone done that? I've tried "force=" (with no character specified) and "!force" and "force=none", but none of those have the desired effect. If you know how, please share the info. BTW, with my current setup, "tip" works much better than "cu" -- "cu" loses characters but tip does not. But, "tip" won't connect to my modem when the modem is not asserting Carrier Detect, but "cu" does. Hmm... (By the way, kermit also will not connect unless CD is asserted. Does that symptom sound familiar to anyone?) Anyway, here is the configuration of tip variables that I have found works well, with the exception of the active "escape", "force" and "raisechar" functions which I would like to disable (sometimes).
