3Tip can be configured in a number of ways:
4
5ACU's:
6-----
7
8ACU Define in makefile
9-------------------- ---------------
10BIZCOMP 1022, 1031 BIZ1022, BIZ1031
11DEC DF02-AC, DF03-AC DF02, DF03
12DEC DN-11/Able Quadracall DN11
13Ventel VENTEL
14Vadic 831 V831
15
16New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
17in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
18
19ACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
20If this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
21log file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.
22
23Variables:
24---------
25
26Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
27user defined variables. These are statically initialized
28in vars.c, and from the remote file.
29
30Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
31recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
32expensive lookups. These defines are set in tip.h.
33
34Commands:
35--------
36
37The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c. Commands
38may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
39root may execute).

45Recent changes about Jan 82
46
47A new, improved version of tip is now available. The most important
48addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip. The
49default baud rate is 1200. To use it do:
50
51 tip phone-number
52or
53 tip -300 phone-number
54
55for 300 baud.
56
57A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
58
59A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
60It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
61the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip. This allows
62cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
63user specify which one he wants.
