The Dialcodes File

The Dialcodes file (/etc/uucp/Dialcodes) contains the dial-code abbreviations that can be used in the Phone field of the Systems file. Each entry has the following format:

abb dial-seq

abb is the abbreviation used in the Systems file Phone field and dial-seq is the dial sequence that is passed to the dialer when that Systems file entry is accessed.

For example, the following entry would work with a Phone field in the Systems file such as jt7867:

jt 9=555-

When the entry containing jt7867 was encountered, the sequence 9=555-7867 would be sent to the dialer if the token in the dialer-token-pair was \T.
