How is "tip" spelled on Linux-speak?

[David Wolfskill]

In particular, using the recently-minted Linux BBC (Bootable Business Card)?

I'm trying to test/diagnose a problem with my laptop's serial port; I
merely want to tip to the serial port while an external MODEM is
connected to it, so I can see if I can talk to it ("aaat&v"; see if
I get a register dump back -- if so, I'm happy).

Thanks,
david
