Hi all,

Some time ago I wanted to get tip running. I could use Minicom, which
I'm using now, or kermit, but I wanted everything to function so I
attacked tip. I remember that the modem would go off hook, dialing 
would start and in about 7 seconds the modem would go on hook and the
call would fail. I tweaked on files 'modems', 'remote', 'phones' and
even messed with tip settings, mainly dial time. What ever I did got tip
working :).

Later I hosed lpd messing with host parameters and to fix this problem
did a minimal bin reinstall (eradicating the etc directory by the way).
Well ... I'm back trying to get tip working again with the same problem
as before: minicom and kermit work; I can run tip to a hard wired line
(cuaa2c) and ATDT and get it to work but when I try to run tip normally
it does not even finish dialing the number before it goes on hook and fails
the call! Please anyone?
