Description
Using a terminal program, the tip command establishes a full-duplex terminal connection to a modem
interface. It is a diagnostic tool used to manually send commands to a modem. Normally this command
is only used to test new modem configuration options.

The tip command is only used on modem interfaces. Do not use tip on a modem that
has a dialer running.
Before using tip on a modem line, the line dialer must be stopped with the dialup iface inactive
command.

Send packet-type status (for an interface) to the console.
Syntax
trace iface [in | out | hex | ppp | packet | up | > filename]

The trace command enables packet tracing on a given interface (iface) to standard output. The default is
to display input and output packet headers. Packet headers are fully decoded up through the transport
level. Packet data is displayed as ASCII characters and periods representing unprintable characters.
NOTE
If you are logged in on an interface, you are not allowed to trace that interface.
