NAME
       phones - File containing the remote host phone number database

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/phones

       The /etc/phones file contains the system-wide private phone numbers for
       the tip(1) program.

DESCRIPTION
       This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain privileged	infor‐
       mation.	 The format of the file is a series of lines of the form: sys‐
       temname	 phone-number

       where systemname is defined in the /etc/remote file and phone-number is
       the system phone number terminated only by a comma or by the end of the
       line.  Only one phone number per line is permitted.  However,  if  more
       than  one  line	in  the	 file  contains the same system name, tip will
       attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.

EXAMPLES
       The following example shows the entry in /etc/phones  for  the  system,
       zeus: zeus	       9=555-9898

       In  this example, the = sign (or an asterisk) forces the autocall units
       to pause and wait for  a	 second	 dial  tone,  when  going  through  an
       exchange.   The	=  is  required	 by  the DF02-AC (an asterisk would be
       required by the BIZCOMP 1030).
