<p class="Pp">The file <span class="Pa">/etc/phones</span> contains the
    system-wide private phone numbers for the <a class="Xr">tip(1)</a> 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:
    &lt;system-name&gt;[&#x00A0;\t]*&lt;phone-number&gt;. The system name is one
    of those defined in the <a class="Xr">remote(5)</a> 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.</p>
<p class="Pp">Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than
    one line in the file contains the same system name <a class="Xr">tip(1)</a>
    will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a
  connection.</p>
