This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain 49privileged information. The format of the file is a series of lines 50of the form: <system-name>[\ \et]*<phone-number>. The system name is 51one of those defined in the 52.Xr remote 5 53file and the phone number is constructed from any sequence of 54characters terminated only by ``,'' or the end of the line. 55The ``='' and ``*'' characters are 56indicators to the auto call units to pause and wait for a second dial 57tone (when going through an exchange). The ``='' is required by the 58.Tn DF02-AC 59and the ``*'' is required by the 60.Tn BIZCOMP 611030. 62.Pp 63Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than 64one line in the file contains the same system name 65.Xr tip 1 66will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection. 67.Sh FILES 68.Bl -tag -width /etc/phones -compact 69.It Pa /etc/phones 70.El 71.Sh SEE ALSO 72.Xr tip 1 , 73.Xr remote 5 74.Sh HISTORY 75The 76.Nm 77file appeared in 78.Bx 4.2 . 79
