Thanks to those who responded to my questions regarding not getting tip to work. I knew it was something obvious and stupid and it was. Even though I looked at the "stty -f " output a dozen times, the significance of it telling me that the port was trying to run at 57600 went right past me. I see the message that it is connecting at 57600 all of the time. The /etc/gettytab and /etc/ttys had nothing to do with it at all, despite the error messages indicating that this was the most likely possibility. In the /etc/rc.serial file there is an entry for "modem( )" and the example also includes a line near the end of the file where the modem port is flagged (I guess that is the way to put it). It is commented out. First I removed the comment "#". I tried it and no luck. Then using one respondants suggestion i went to DOS and set the power up state of the modem so that all echoing is off. Again NO LUCK. Then I notice the 57600 and go into the rc file and change it to 19200, "connected" tip politely reports. 57600 is set in the example file supplied with the software and the modem and computer were just not syncronized. So, for what it is worth, the rule is "The more difficult and puzzling the problem: The more sleep I need before solving it." Thanks again for the input. John
