This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain 45privileged information. 46.Pp 47The format of the file is a series of lines containing whitespace 48separate fields, of the form: 49.Dl system-name phone-number 50.Pp 51The 52.Em system-name 53is one of those defined in the 54.Xr remote 5 55file. 56.Pp 57The 58.Em phone-number 59is constructed from any sequence of characters terminated only by a comma 60.Pq Dq \&, 61or the end of the line. 62The equals 63.Pq Dq \&= 64and asterisk 65.Pq Dq \&* 66characters are 67indicators to the auto call units to pause and wait for a second dial 68tone (when going through an exchange). The 69.Dq \&= 70is required by the 71.Tn DF02-AC 72and the 73.Dq \&* 74is required by the 75.Tn BIZCOMP 761030. 77.Pp 78Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than 79one line in the file contains the same system name 80.Xr tip 1 81will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection. 82.Sh FILES 83.Bl -tag -width /etc/phones -compact 84.It Pa /etc/phones 85.El 86.Sh SEE ALSO 87.Xr tip 1 , 88.Xr remote 5 89.Sh HISTORY 90The 91.Nm 92file appeared in 93.Bx 4.2 . 94
