Capabilities are either strings (str), numbers
(num), or boolean flags (bool). A string capability is
specified by capability=value; for example,
`dv=/dev/harris'. A numeric capability is specified by
capability#value; for example, `xa#99'. A boolean
capability is specified by simply listing the capability.
at
(str) Auto call unit type. The following lists
valid '
at' types and their corresponding hardware:
biz31f
Bizcomp 1031, tone dialing
biz31w
Bizcomp 1031, pulse dialing
biz22f
Bizcomp 1022, tone dialing
biz22w
Bizcomp 1022, pulse dialing

hayes

at
Any Hayes-compatible modem
br
(num) The baud rate used in establishing a
connection to the remote host. This is a decimal number. The default baud rate
is 300 baud.
cm
(str) An initial connection message to be sent to
the remote host. For example, if a host is reached through a port selector,
this might be set to the appropriate sequence required to switch to the
host.
cu
(str) Call unit if making a phone call. Default is
the same as the dv field.
db
(bool) Cause
tip(1) to ignore the first
hangup it sees.
db (dialback) allows the user to remain in
tip
while the remote machine disconnects and places a call back to the local
machine. For more information about dialback configuration, see
System
Administration Guide: IP Services.
di
(str) Disconnect message sent to the host when a
disconnect is requested by the user.
du
(bool) This host is on a dial-up line.
dv
(str) Device(s) to open to establish a connection.
If this file refers to a terminal line, tip attempts to perform an
exclusive open on the device to insure only one user at a time has access to
the port.
ec
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
echocheck to on, so that tip will synchronize with the
remote host during file transfer by waiting for the echo of the last character
transmitted.
el
(str) Characters marking an end-of-line. The
default is no characters. tip only recognizes `~' escapes after
one of the characters in el, or after a RETURN.
es
(str) The command prefix (escape) character for
tip.
et
(num) Number of seconds to wait for an echo
response when echo-check mode is on. This is a decimal number. The default
value is 10 seconds.
ex
(str) Set of non-printable characters not to be
discarded when scripting with beautification turned on. The default value is
"\t\n\b\f".
fo
(str) Character used to force literal data
transmission. The default value is `\377'.
fs
(num) Frame size for transfers. The default frame
size is equal to 1024.
hd
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
halfduplex to on, so local echo should be performed.
hf
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
hardwareflow to on, so hardware flow control is used.
ie
(str) Input end-of-file marks. The default is a
null string ("").
nb
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
beautify to off, so that unprintable characters will not be
discarded when scripting.
nt
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
tandem to off, so that XON/XOFF flow control will not be
used to throttle data from the remote host.
nv
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
verbose to off, so that verbose mode will be turned on.
oe
(str) Output end-of-file string. The default is a
null string (""). When tip is transferring a file, this
string is sent at end-of-file.
pa
(str) The type of parity to use when sending data
to the host. This may be one of even, odd, none,
zero (always set bit 8 to 0), one (always set bit
8 to 1). The default is none.
pn
(str) Telephone number(s) for this host. If the
telephone number field contains an `
@' sign,
tip searches the
/etc/phones file for a list of telephone numbers — see
phones(5). A `
%' sign in the telephone number indicates a
5-second delay for the Ventel Modem.
For Hayes-compatible modems, if the telephone number starts with
an 'S', the telephone number string will be sent to the modem without the
"DT", which allows reconfiguration of the modem's
S-registers and other parameters; for example, to disable auto-answer:
"pn=S0=0DT5551234"; or to also restrict the modem to return
only the basic result codes: "pn=S0=0X0DT5551234".
pr
(str) Character that indicates end-of-line on the
remote host. The default value is `\n'.
ra
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
raise to on, so that lower case letters are mapped to upper case
before sending them to the remote host.
rc
(str) Character that toggles case-mapping mode.
The default value is `\377'.
re
(str) The file in which to record session scripts.
The default value is tip.record.
rw
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
rawftp to on, so that all characters will be sent as is during
file transfers.
sc
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
script to on, so that everything transmitted by the remote host
will be recorded.
tb
(bool) Initialize the tip variable
tabexpand to on, so that tabs will be expanded to spaces during
file transfers.
tc
(str) Indicates that the list of capabilities is
continued in the named description. This is used primarily to share common
capability information.
