Location of the "tip" program

[pani@frontiernet.net]

I have some hardware that I am interfacing
with the serial port and the documentation refers
to using the tip program to communicate with the hardware

I have been unable to locate it on my RedHat CDs and
searching for "tip" on the web is asking for trouble.
Anyway I looked in freshmeat, rufus, the linux 
woven goods site, linuxapps.com and I have not found
anything.

I am scared to use minicom since i do not want to blow 
up anything just because minicom does not work exactly 
as tip does.

Thanks,
