>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.1.5 386 and P100

>Description:

	I set up for dialup access as decribed in section 11.4 of the FreeBSD Handbook. When I would dial-in sometimes it would work, other times, it would hangup the phone seconds after sending the login prompt. 

>How-To-Repeat:

	Edit /etc/ttys to allow serial logins. (I used std.38400),
	kill -1 1, Edit /etc/remote , Use TIP to issue modem commands
	, and dial in)

>Fix:
	
	create .tiprc file with entry "parity=none"
	I don't know how much of this problem is caused by tip
	not being a "correct program" as decribed in the 
	sio (4) man pages
	Kermit seems to be better behaved/able to detect getty settings,
	but is not as readily available, ie requires compilation.
