I can't answer all of your questions, but at least a couple......

Try hitting control-A  this toggles you between uppercase and lowercase and
when you're caught like this you've just accidentally hit it by mistake.
(wow, is that redundant or what! :-)

Works just fine for me.....  EXCEPT in one case.  I've found that if running
tcsh on both the remote NeXT and my local NeXT that ~t has problems. This
is actually related, distantly, to the above problem. It's because control-A
seems to be improperly mapped in the keybindings. I've never determined a 
workaround (and have posted asking for help).  But ~t works fine from Suns,
Decs, etc. It also works fine if you run just plain old csh on one of the
machines (the remote one is better) so before doing a ~t just type 
/bin/csh

>3. how to get a proper end of ~<-transmission under UNIX (cat some.text; echo ^A doesn't work)

Not sure what you mean here...... Are you trying to use tip to transfer binary
files?  That's a NO NO. uuencode the file first, then do the transfer. If
taht's not what you mean I'll need more specific examples.

>4. Is there a descrpition of cu and .tiprc ?
uh.... see "man tip" for most anything that's relevant.

>5. How to resume a tip connection (modem still online, but tip is terminated) ?

You got me here. I don't think it's possible.  

Hope this is helpful --- Tom
