My understanding of terminal emulation and remote access is very limited.  
Also, I know next to nothing about tip.

However, I've had a certain amount of success using kermit in FreeBSD to dial 
into a vendor's server when I was supposed to be using hyperterminal in 
Windows .  I use kermit to dial the modem, use the vendor's command line menu 
interface and to transfer files.

Here's the contents of a kermit script I use to dial a certain vendor:

-----start script file
#!/usr/local/bin/kermit

set line /dev/modem
set speed 57600
set dial connect on
dial <phone number>
-----end of script file

Have fun,

Andrew Gould
