|
The file
|
|
.B /etc/phones
|
|
contains the system-wide private phone numbers for the
|
|
.BR tip (1C)
|
|
program.
|
|
.B /etc/phones
|
|
is normally unreadable, and so may contain
|
|
privileged information. The format of
|
|
.B /etc/phones
|
|
is a series of lines of the form:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.BI < system-name >[\ \et]*< phone-number >\fR.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The system name is one of those defined in the
|
|
.BR remote (5)
|
|
file and the phone number is constructed from
|
|
.BR [0123456789\-=*%] .
|
|
The
|
|
.RB ` = '
|
|
and
|
|
.RB ` * '
|
|
characters are indicators to the auto
|
|
call units to pause and wait for a second dial
|
|
tone (when going through an exchange). The
|
|
.RB ` = '
|
|
is required by the
|
|
.SM DF02-AC
|
|
and the
|
|
.RB ` * '
|
|
is required by the
|
|
.SM BIZCOMP
|
|
1030.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Comment lines are lines containing a
|
|
.RB ` # '
|
|
sign in the first column of the line.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Only one phone number per line is permitted.
|
|
However, if more than
|
|
one line in the file contains the same system name
|
|
.BR tip (1C)
|
|
will attempt to dial each one in turn,
|
|
until it establishes a connection.
