This is one of those obvious things, once you figure it out, and I
imagine most people can hit 'n' here.  However, if you have had trouble
getting tip to dial out automatically for you, here's one way.

I run a Telebit TrailBlazer and I could never figure out how to automate
the setup and dialing for different machines.  The other day, reviewing
the manual for /etc/remote, I found reference to cm which is a command
to issue a string of instructions to the machine you are logging into. 
Playing around with this command I discovered I could use it to
initialize the modem and to dial out.  For example, to call my office
computer I have the string :cm=at&edn\r:.  For another machine I use
:cm=ats50=0s66=1dt#######\r:, where ####### is the phone number.  I was
surprised to find these things work perfectly.

If you have been having trouble getting tip to set up your modem and
dial out, give cm a try.  It might solve your problem too.
