That means your /etc/remote file is still at its defaults (which

perhaps should change):
tty00|For hp300,i386,mac68k,macppc,mvmeppc,vax:\

        :dv=/dev/tty00:tc=direct:tc=unixhost:
cua00|For hp300,i386,mac68k,macppc,mvmeppc,vax:\

        :dv=/dev/cua00:tc=dialup:tc=unixhost:
See, when you do "tip tty00", you aren't actually saying, "use port

tty00", you are saying, "use /etc/remote entry tty00", which just

so happens to point to port tty00.  It doesn't need to.  You could

really mess with someone. :)
Try doing this:
  # tip tty01

  tip: unknown host tty01
unknown HOST, not unknown port (this machine has a second com port).
The "tc=dialup" is what is hurting you.  Just change it to "direct".
Depending upon your cable and needs, you may not ever care, but cua

is more forgiving.
