NAME
       acucap - Automatic call unit capabilities file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/acucap

DESCRIPTION
       The  /etc/acucap	 file lists the types of autodial modems and describes
       their attributes.  Whenever tip encounters an at field  in  /etc/remote
       file description, it searches /etc/acucap file description.

       If  the	at  string  there matches a name entry in /etc/acucap, the tip
       generic dialing routine	places	an  outgoing  call  according  to  the
       attributes specified for the modem in the acucap file.

       Each  line  in  the  file  describes how to dial a given type of modem.
       This description consists of strings, time delays, and  flags  used  to
       control	the action of any modem.  Fields are separated by a colon (:).
       Entries that end in a backslash character (\) followed by a newline are
       continued on the next line.

       The  first  entry  is the name or names of the modem.  If there is more
       than one name for a modem, each is separated by	a  vertical  bar  (|).
       There  cannot be any blank spaces or other characters between the first
       column and the modem name.

       The fields of the description follow the name.  A field	name  followed
       by  an  equal  sign (=) indicates that a string value follows.  A field
       name followed by a pound sign (#) indicates that a numeric  value  fol‐
       lows.   A  field name followed by the separating colon (:) represents a
       Boolean.

CAPABILITIES
       The fields following the name of the modem define the  capabilities  of
       the  modem.   Capabilities  are either strings (str), numbers (num), or
       Boolean flags (bool).  A string capability is  of  the  form:  capabil‐
       ity=value

       An example is: ss=^A^B

       A numeric capability is of the form: capability#value

       An example is: sd#1

       A  Boolean  capability is specified simply by listing it.  Strings that
       are not specified cause nothing to be issued.  The following are avail‐
       able  capabilities:  (str)  Abort  string.   This string is sent to the
       modem if tip is aborted.	 (num) Completion delay.   This	 number	 gives
       the  time  to  wait  between  completion string characters (in seconds,
       unless the ls Boolean  is  specified).	(bool)	Setting	 this  Boolean
       causes  the program to wait in the generic dial routine until the modem
       senses a carrier.  (str) A modem command	 string	 which	instructs  the
       modem to change from the default speed to the speed specified by the xs
       field.  (str) Completion string.	 The modem issues  this	 string	 after
       receiving  and  responding  to synchronization and dial strings.	 (num)
       Dial acknowledge.  This number gives the time to	 wait  before  looking
       for  a  dial  response  (in seconds).  (bool) Debug mode.  Setting this
       Boolean causes the generic dialer to give more information as it dials.
       (num)  Dial  delay.  This number gives the time between dial characters
       (in seconds) unless the ls Boolean is specified.	 (str)	Dial  initial‐
       ization.	  This string is used to start a dialing sequence (placed just
       before the number to dial.)  (str) Dial response.  The modem sends this
       string if a dialing sequence that was just issued is successful.	 (str)
       Disconnect string.  This string is  sent	 to  the  modem	 when  tip  is
       finally	disconnected.  (str) Dial termination.	This string is used to
       terminate a dialing sequence (placed just after the  number  to	dial.)
       (num)  Full delay.  This number is the time to wait for a carrier to be
       detected (in seconds).  If the call is not completed in this  time,  an
       error is returned.  (bool) This Boolean causes the modem to hang up the
       phone if the line goes away.  (num) This number specifies the speed  at
       which the modem must be initialized.  The conversation speed will later
       be set as specified by the xs field.  (bool) Use an internal sleep rou‐
       tine  rather  than  sleep(3) for delays.	 Thus, all delays are given in
       microseconds rather than seconds.   (str)  Online  string.   The	 modem
       sends  this  string  after  carrier has been detected.  (bool) Causes a
       1-second delay after toggling dtr (data terminal ready).	  This	action
       will  only  be taken if re is also set.	(bool) This Boolean causes the
       modem to toggle dtr (data terminal ready) before beginning synchroniza‐
       tion.   It  is used to reset the present condition of the modem.	 (str)
       Replacement string.  This string is a single  character	that  will  be
       substituted  for	 an  equal  sign  (=)  or dash (-) in the number to be
       dialed; used so that delay characters can be represented uniformly, but
       allowing	 the  correct  delay  character to be passed to a given modem.
       (num) Synchronization delay.  This number gives the time	 between  syn‐
       chronization  characters	 (in  seconds  unless the ls Boolean is speci‐
       fied.)  (bool) This modem is  attached  to  an  interface  that	cannot
       return  any  characters until carrier is detected.  The DMF32 interface
       acts in this way.  (str)	 Synchronization  response.   What  the	 modem
       sends  in  response to a synchronization string.	 (str) Synchronization
       string.	The first string the modem expects to receive; a check to  see
       if  the	modem  is operating.  (num) Specifies the speed the modem will
       operate at after initialization at the default speed in the is field.

EXAMPLES
       The following example shows an entry for a  DF03	 modem:	 df03|DF03|dec
       df03:\	   :cr:hu:re:di=^A^B:dd#1:os=A:ds=^A:fd#40:
