BSD tip builds and runs

For the curious - the FreeBSD tip(1) source builds and runs on MacOSX as is - just remove the FreeBSD macros `__FBSDID($FREEBSD$);' and use bsdmake(1). To attach to the modem, use `cu -l /dev/tty.modem'.

I would absolutely love to recover my old cu utility, but I searched through the FreeBSD ports database and they don't have a specific "tip" port. Could you give us more details on how to get tip or cu to work on OSX (where to find the source, what to change in the code to get it to compile it, ect...).

I did try to compile UUCP a while back but I was never able to squeeze a binary out of the source code.

Thanks for the "TIP"

CU

;-)

I should not have alluded to "tip" in Solaris... it confused folks.

The command that's pre-installed in Jaguar/Panther is "screen"
(refer to the "screen" man pages via the terminal).

I'll leave comments about "cu" to someone else.
