NAME

6       phones - remote host phone number data base
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The file /etc/phones contains the system-wide private phone numbers for
10       the tip(1C) program.  This file is normally unreadable, and so may con‐
11       tain  privileged  information.   The  format of the file is a series of
12       lines of the form: <system-name>[ \t]*<phone-number>.  The system  name
13       is  one  of those defined in the remote(5) file and the phone number is
14       constructed from any sequence of characters terminated only by ``,'' or
15       the  end of the line.  The ``='' and ``*'' characters are indicators to
16       the auto call units to pause and wait for  a  second  dial  tone  (when
17       going  through  an exchange).  The ``='' is required by the DF02-AC and
18       the ``*'' is required by the BIZCOMP 1030.
19
20       Only one phone number per line is permitted.  However, if more than one
21       line  in the file contains the same system name tip(1C) will attempt to
22       dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
