NAME
     remote - remote host description file

DESCRIPTION
     The systems known by tip(1n) and their attributes are stored
     in an ASCII file which is structured somewhat like the
     termcap(5t) file.  Each line in the file provides a
     description for a single system.  Fields are separated by a
     colon ( :).  Lines ending in a \ character with an
     immediately following newline are continued on the next
     line.

     The first entry is the name(s) of the host system.  If there
     is more than one name for a system, the names are separated
     by vertical bars.  After the name of the system comes the
     fields of the description.  A field name followed by an =
     sign indicates a string value follows.  A field name
     followed by a # sign indicates a following numeric value.

     Entries named tip* and cu* are used as default entries by
     tip, and the cu interface to tip, as follows.  When tip is
     invoked with only a phone number, it looks for an entry of
     the form tip300, where 300 is the baud rate with which the
     connection is to be made.  When the cu interface is used,
     entries of the form cu300 are used.

     Capabilities are either strings (str), numbers (num), or
     boolean flags (bool).  A string capability is specified by
     capability=value; e.g.  dv=/dev/harris.  A numeric
     capability is specified by capability # value; e.g.
     ``xa#99''.  A boolean capability is specified by simply
     listing the capability.

     at  (str) Auto call unit type.  The ACUs supported by tip in
         UTek follow:


             ACU name                      ACU type string

         Bizcomp 31 dialer...................... biz31f

                                                 biz22w

         Vadic 3451 Modem....................... v3451
         Vadic 831 Modem........................ v831


     br  (num) The baud rate used in establishing a connection to
         the remote host.  This is a decimal number.  The default
         baud rate is 300 baud.

     cm  (str) An initial connection message to be sent to the
         remote host.  For example, if a host is reached through
         port selector, this might be set to the appropriate
         sequence required to switch to the host.

     cu  (str) Call unit if making a phone call.  Default is the
         same as the `dv' field.

     di  (str) Disconnect message sent to the host when a
         disconnect is requested by the user.

     du  (bool) This host is on a dial-up line.

     dv  (str) UTek device(s) to open to establish a connection.
         If this file refers to a terminal line, tip(1n) attempts
         to perform an exclusive open on the device to insure
         only one user at a time has access to the port.

     el  (str) Characters marking an end-of-line.  The default is
         NULL.  `~' escapes are only recognized by tip after one
         of the characters in `el', or after a carriage-return.

     fs  (str) Frame size for transfers.  The default frame size
         is equal to BUFSIZ.

     hd  (bool) The host uses half-duplex communication, local
         echo should be performed.

     ie  (str) Input end-of-file marks.  The default is NULL.

     oe  (str) Output end-of-file string.  The default is NULL.
         When tip is transferring a file, this string is sent at
         end-of-file.

     pa  (str) The type of parity to use when sending data to the
         host.  This may be one of ``even'', ``odd'', ``none'',
         ``zero'' (always set bit 8 to zero), ``one'' (always set
         bit 8 to 1).  The default is even parity.

     pn  (str) Telephone number(s) for this host.  If the
         telephone number field contains an @ sign, tip searches
         the file /etc/phones file for a list of telephone
         numbers; see phones(5n).

     ta  (bool) Use XON <CTRL-q> and XOFF <CTRL-s> for flow
         control.

     nt  Negates ta (see entry above).

     tc  (str) Indicates that the list of capabilities is
         continued in the named description.  This is used
         primarily to share common capability information.

EXAMPLES
     In the following examples replace XX with your UTek tty
     device number ( e.g. 00 for tty00 ):

          direct|direct 9600 baud line:\
             :dv=/dev/ttyXX:br#9600:ta:ie=^A\
             :oe=^A

          dial1200|1200 Baud Hayes :\
             :dv=/dev/ttyXX:br#1200:du:at=hayes:

          unix1200|1200 Baud dial-out to a UNIX system:\
             :el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=%$:oe=^D:tc=dial1200:

          arpavax|ax:\
             pn=7654321%:tc=unix1200

     Note that the arpavax target takes on all of the
     characteristics of unix1200, and dial1200.
