Quite correct. I don't beleive that you can get an 8bit clean connection with  
either tip or cu. (I'm in need of such a thing, but for an AT&T SYSV3R2, which  
means I need the sources...) This is what you need to pass binaries. Because  
the US people never needed more than ASCII, just about everything in the unix  
world are 7bits (grrr). (There are exceptions, I know, but they're often  
buggy.)

I'm not too familiar with the principles of tip, but with cu this is possible.  
Note though, that the password will be plain text!

Tip sources are available.  Try to ask archie.  I am not sure if there
is a way to force tip into 8bit connection (it seems to me that it is).
On rare occasions when I had to use it I was using instead tipx -
tip with a built-in x/y/zmodem protocol.  It required some hacking
to support higher baud rates but it worked pretty well in general.
