NAME
       phones - remote host phone number data base

DESCRIPTION
       The file /etc/phones contains the system-wide private phone numbers for
       the tip(1C) 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 exchange).  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(1C) will attempt to
       dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
