- This is one of those obvious things, once you figure it out, and I
- imagine most people can hit 'n' here. However, if you have had trouble
- getting tip to dial out automatically for you, here's one way.
-
- I run a Telebit TrailBlazer and I could never figure out how to automate
- the setup and dialing for different machines. The other day, reviewing
- the manual for /etc/remote, I found reference to cm which is a command
- to issue a string of instructions to the machine you are logging into.
- Playing around with this command I discovered I could use it to
- initialize the modem and to dial out. For example, to call my office
- computer I have the string :cm=at&edn\r:. For another machine I use
- :cm=ats50=0s66=1dt#######\r:, where ####### is the phone number. I was
- surprised to find these things work perfectly.
-
- If you have been having trouble getting tip to set up your modem and
- dial out, give cm a try. It might solve your problem too.
