I use "tip" command to dial-in my accont in shool lab. It is a very unconvient to do manually dial-up if the lines are busy. I know there are some softeware(share/3rd Party...) to deal with auto dial-in and redial. In Buzznug#? the auto dial-in ,polling,redial function in tip are left as "Homework" ;-< I tried to do that homework serveral times,but failed. I tried tongiht and failed again ;-<<. The happy tip hackers please give me a pointer why I failed to auto dial-in ,redial... Or email me sample /etc/remote and /etc/phones file Thanx for your help to make my life easier .
