NAME
      phones - remote host phone number data base

DESCRIPTION
      The file /etc/tip/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.
