      1 Tip can be configured in a number of ways:
      2 
      3 ACU's:
      4 -----
      5 
      6 ACU				Define in makefile
      7 --------------------		---------------
      8 BIZCOMP 1022, 1031		BIZ1022, BIZ1031
      9 DEC DF02-AC, DF03-AC		DF02, DF03
     10 DEC DN-11/Able Quadracall	DN11
     11 Ventel				VENTEL
     12 Vadic 831			V831
     13 
     14 New ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
     15 in acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
     16 
     17 ACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
     18 If this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
     19 log file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.
     20 
     21 Variables:
     22 ---------
     23 
     24 Tip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
     25 user defined variables.  These are statically initialized
     26 in vars.c, and from the remote file.
     27 
     28 Note that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
     29 recompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
     30 expensive lookups.  These defines are set in tip.h.
     31 
     32 Commands:
     33 --------
     34 
     35 The command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c.  Commands
     36 may have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
     37 root may execute).

     43 Recent changes about Jan 82 
     44 
     45 A new, improved version of tip is now available.  The most important
     46 addition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip.  The
     47 default baud rate is 1200.  To use it do:
     48 
     49 	tip phone-number
     50 or
     51 	tip -300 phone-number
     52 
     53 for 300 baud.
     54 
     55 A ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
     56 
     57 A new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
     58 It attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
     59 the tip program so you have all the advantages of tip.  This allows
     60 cu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
     61 user specify which one he wants.
