This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain 49privileged information. 50.Pp 51The format of the file is a series of lines containing whitespace 52separate fields, of the form: 53.Dl system-name phone-number 54.Pp 55The 56.Em system-name 57is one of those defined in the 58.Xr remote 5 59file. 60.Pp 61The 62.Em phone-number 63is constructed from any sequence of characters terminated only by a comma 64.Pq Dq \&, 65or the end of the line. 66The equals 67.Pq Dq \&= 68and asterisk 69.Pq Dq \&* 70characters are 71indicators to the auto call units to pause and wait for a second dial 72tone (when going through an exchange). The 73.Dq \&= 74' is required by the 75.Tn DF02-AC 76and the 77.Dq \&* 78is required by the 79.Tn BIZCOMP 801030. 81.Pp 82Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than 83one line in the file contains the same system name 84.Xr tip 1 85will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection. 86.Sh FILES 87.Bl -tag -width /etc/phones -compact 88.It Pa /etc/phones 89.El 90.Sh SEE ALSO 91.Xr tip 1 , 92.Xr remote 5 93.Sh HISTORY 94The 95.Nm 96file appeared in 97.Bx 4.2 . 98
