Dear all,

I sometime access a modem connected to a remote FreeBSD 2.1R machine on a
lan.

I access the modem for diagnostic purposes or so. The utility I use is
tip.  The sequence is then 'do an rlogin onto the modem machine and the do
a  tip to the modem.

All this is fine, until a do ~. to disconnect tip.

This action produces not to escape from tip, but to exit the remote login,
and what is worse leaving the tip session running, resulting in the modem
being busy for the next connect attempt - you have to kill the tip
processes by hand to recover.

Can this be a problem  with tip or what else?

Thanks, Marcom
