+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The file
+.Pa /etc/phones
+contains the system-wide
+private phone numbers for the
+.Xr tip 1
+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>[\ \et]*<phone-number>.
+The system name is
+one of those defined in the
+.Xr 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
+.Tn DF02-AC
+and the ``*'' is required by the
+.Tn BIZCOMP
+1030.
+.Pp
+Only one phone number per line is permitted.
+However, if more than
+one line in the file contains the same system name
+.Xr tip 1
+will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
