Name
       phones - remote host phone number data base

Description
       The  file  contains  the system-wide private phone numbers for the pro‐
       gram.  This file is normally unreadable, and so can 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  file  and  the  phone number is constructed from [0123456789-=*%].
       The equal sign (=) and the asterisk (*) characters  are	indicators  to
       the  autocall units to pause and wait for a second dial tone when going
       through an exchange.  The equal sign (=) is required  by	 the  DF02-AC;
       the asterisk (*) 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, attempts to  dial  each
       one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
