   I thought that I had tip figured out...but then this morning
   I tried using tip in my own account, not as root.  I got that
   ``all ports busy'' error.

   Got tto be some kind of permissions problem, right?  I've 
   openedseveral files mode 0666 and set tip 04777.  No joy.

   Before I dig into the code, does anybody have any ideas??
