DIALCODES(F)             XENIX System V              DIALCODES(F)



     Name
          dialcodes - Format of UUCP Dialcode abbreviations file.

     Description
          The Dialcodes file (/usr/lib/uucp/Dialcodes) contains the
          Dialcode abbreviations that can be used in the Phone field
          of the Systems file.  This feature allows you to create a
          standard Systems file for distribution among several sites
          that have different phone systems and area codes.

          If two remote sites in a network need to link with the same
          sites, but have different internal phone systems each site
          can share the same Systems file, but have different entries
          in a Dialcodes file.  Each entry has the following format:

               abb dial-seq

          where:

               abb       is the abbreviation used in the Systems file
                         phone field

               dial-seq  is the dial sequence that is passed to the
                         dialer when that particular Systems file
                         entry is accessed.

          The following entry would be set up to work with a phone
          field in the Systems file such as jt7867 :

               jt 9=847-

          When the entry containing jt7867 is encountered, the
          following sequence is sent to the dialer if the token in the
          dialer-token-pair is \T :

               9=847-7867

          The phone number is made up of an optional alphabetic
          abbreviation and a numeric part. If an abbreviation is used,
          it must be one that is listed in the Dialcodes file.
