.Sh NAME
.Nm phones
.Nd remote host phone number data base
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The file
.Pa /etc/phones
contains the system-wide
private phone numbers for the
.Xr tip 1
program. This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain
2001-01-03 10:50:54 +03:00
privileged information.
.Pp
The format of the file is a series of lines containing whitespace
separate fields, of the form:
.Dl system-name phone-number
.Pp
The
.Em system-name
is one of those defined in the
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Xr remote 5
2001-01-03 10:50:54 +03:00
file.
.Pp
The
.Em phone-number
is constructed from any sequence of characters terminated only by a comma
2000-11-17 13:14:16 +03:00
.Pq Dq \&,
or the end of the line.
The equals
.Pq Dq \&=
and asterisk
.Pq Dq \&*
characters are
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
indicators to the auto call units to pause and wait for a second dial
2000-11-17 13:14:16 +03:00
tone (when going through an exchange). The
.Dq \&=
' is required by the
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Tn DF02-AC
2000-11-17 13:14:16 +03:00
and the
.Dq \&*
is required by the
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Tn BIZCOMP
1030.
.Pp
Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than
one line in the file contains the same system name
.Xr tip 1
will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
