10 | phones \- remote host phone number data base | |
11 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
12 | The file /etc/phones contains the system-wide | |
13 | private phone numbers for the | |
14 | .IR tip (1C) | |
15 | program. This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain | |
16 | privileged information. The format of the file is a series of lines | |
17 | of the form: <system-name>[\ \et]*<phone-number>. The system name is | |
18 | one of those defined in the | |
19 | .IR remote (5) | |
fd40b09f KM |
20 | file and the phone number is constructed from any sequence of |
21 | characters terminated only by ``,'' or the end of the line. | |
22 | The ``='' and ``*'' characters are | |
c17cc847 KM |
23 | indicators to the auto call units to pause and wait for a second dial |
24 | tone (when going through an exchange). The ``='' is required by the | |
25 | DF02-AC and the ``*'' is required by the BIZCOMP 1030. | |
26 | .PP | |
27 | Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than | |
28 | one line in the file contains the same system name | |
29 | .IR tip (1C) | |
30 | will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection. | |
