11.14. How can I dial a phone number on the command line?

Put what's called a ``generic'' entry in your /etc/remote file. For example:

        tip115200|Dial any phone number at 115200 bps:\
        :dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#115200:at=hayes:pa=none:du:
        tip57600|Dial any phone number at 57600 bps:\
        :dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#57600:at=hayes:pa=none:du:
      

Then you can do something like ``tip -115200 5551234''. If you prefer cu over tip, use a generic cu entry:

        cu115200|Use cu to dial any number at 115200bps:\
        :dv=/dev/cuaa1:br#57600:at=hayes:pa=none:du:
      

and type ``cu 5551234 -s 115200''.
