Guru on tip needed

[Stephen M. Deal]

I am trying to define a fairly painless way for users to dial out to a software vendor bbs from a Sun 4. I am using a US Robotics Courier V.32 in hayes mode.

I have defined the "system" in the /etc/remote file including the phone number.
The entry looks like this:

bbs:dv=/dev/cua0:br#9600:pn=5551212:\
        :el=^D^U^C^S^Q^O@:du:at=hayes:ie=#$%:oe=^D:

When I "tip" to the bbs (e.g. % tip bbs) the modem dials, connects, modulates and synchronizes and then I get:   call failed

and my modem promptly hangs up (drops the connection).

I can tip to that port and manually dial and connect without any problems
so I believe it has something to do with tip.

Any help would be appreciated.
