- The file _/_e_t_c_/_p_h_o_n_e_s contains the system-wide private phone numbers for
- the tip(1) program. This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain
- privileged information. The format of the file is a series of lines of
- the form: <system-name>[ \t]*<phone-number>. The system name is one of
- those defined in the remote(5) file and the phone number is constructed
- from any sequence of characters terminated only by ``,'' or the end of
- the line. The ``='' and ``*'' characters are indicators to the auto call
- units to pause and wait for a second dial tone (when going through an ex-
- change). The ``='' is required by the DF02-AC and the ``*'' is required
- by the BIZCOMP 1030.
-
- Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than one
- line in the file contains the same system name tip(1) will attempt to di-
- al each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
