Hi,

On one i386 machine I have two serial ports.
tty00 to UPS
tty01 to modem

# tail -2 /etc/remote
console:dv=/dev/tty01:br#9600:pa=none:dc:
ups:dv=/dev/tty00:br#2400:pa=none:dc:

When I use ``tip console'' I can interact with the modem and then exit tip
using ~^D from the beginning of the line.

When I use ``tip ups'' I can interact with the ups, but I am unable to exit
tip using ~^D from the beginning of the line.  I am forced to kill -HUP
both tip processes and the shell, so getty will reset the terminal.

What's a surefire way of getting tip to exit?

Ben
