i'm running a relatively up-to-date version of 'tip', with 'du'
entries, and that's what dialed me in to answer this mail...

HOWEVER:

check the flags on the serial line.  in particular, the tty i dial out
on has 'local' set in /etc/ttys.  tip doesn't do the right (or,
perhaps just 'sane' 8-) thing, dialing out.  unless it sees carrier,
it can't typically talk to the modem (i guess because the open
blocks).
