    Hey everybody,

    I am trying to set up a FBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE machine to be able to dial a
    number via tip as described here:

    http://docs.freebsd.org/doc/5.1-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/faq/serial.html

    (That page is a bit out of date, at least in that it says it applies to
    FBSD 2, 3, and 4.)

    My HW setup is an old pentium box with a USB to Serial cable attaching to
    a USR external 56k Modem.

    I added this to my /etc/remote

    tip115200|Dial any phone number at 115200 bps:\
            :dv=/dev/ucom0:br#115200:at=hayes:pa=none:du:
    tip57600|Dial any phone number at 57600 bps:\
            :dv=/dev/ucom0:br#57600:at=hayes:pa=none:du:
    cu115200|Use cu to dial any number at 115200bps:\
            :dv=/dev/ucom0:br#57600:at=hayes:pa=none:du:
    tip9600|Dial any phone number at 9600 bps:\
            :dv=/dev/ucom0:br#9600:at=hayes:pa=none:du:

    But the suggested command gives me core:

    tip -115200 23645
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

    Same result with -57600, -9600 and with cu syntax

    I have an entry for the usb serial device:

    usb1:dv=/dev/ucom0:br#9600:pa=none:

    And if I say

    tip usb1

    I can issue dialer commands and it works.

    The ultimate goal here is having somebody be able to run a shell-script
    named "dial-funkybox" and have it dial and connect them.

    Sorry if I left out something important. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Mike
