HI folks;

	I have been beating on tip and cu ever since i lost my ppp 
connection ( sigh ). As it stands currently, i can get cu to work 
adequately for communication purposes ( that is what i am using now to 
write this ) but it is not sufficient for implementing file transfers with 
rz/sz, do to it's failure to spawn proc via ~C.

	So, since i have perused the faq, i have now got tip to read the 
/etc/phones file. It also seems to be parsing the /etc/remote file to a 
large extent because it understands my "uw" argument to tip. But no 
matter what happens or what line in the file i get it to read, the tip 
session times out with the "link down" mssg.

	The modem is an apparently standard hayes compatible 14.4. It has 
worked with all comm progs i have used with it.

	Here is the modified portions of my /etc/remote:
shit ! i have to type this by hand! cu is acting really weird wrt to 
copying from a vi to cu via drag and drop! )) >;(
