10       work Caller ID Server.

12       The ncidd.alias file is used to create aliases.  A alias is  set  on  a
13       alias line.  A line is broken up into words.  A word is either a string

15       sign.

26              alias [NMBR|NAME] "FROM" = "TO" [if "VALUE"]
27                  where NMBR or NAME is a KEYWORD
28                  where FROM is a string or "*" when using "if"
29                  where TO is the "alias"
