 I want to talk to a remote processor (which has only a monitor and is NOT
in the Unix environment) without using tip. In short, I want a program running
on my UNIX host talk to this remote processor, execute some commands, and
know when each command execution has been completed. 

 Does anybody out there in the wide world of Unix know how this can be done? 
I need more details than is given in the manual on tip. A useful ~/.tiprc
and details of variables to be set, files to be locked/looked at would be
very helpful. 

 Please mail replies to raj@K.CS.CMU.EDU.ARPA. Thanks in advance.
