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.
