Hi Jeff, I think there might be a problem with the man page for tip(1) on 6.x, as an entry for 'tandem' was added to the tip sources about 2 years ago. It's in the 7.x man page as you can see at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tip&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE&format=html in 'Variables'. 'tandem' shows up in a variable listing (~v) in tip on a 6.x system I have here but I don't have an appropriate set up at hand to verify that it operates correctly. Let us know how you go with it. If it works for you then a PR would be in order. Wayne [1] Extract from the tip(1) man page on 7.x: tandem (bool) Use XON/XOFF flow control to throttle data from the remote host; abbreviated ta. The default value is true unless the nt capability has been specified in /etc/remote, in which case the default value is false. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
