The sys file describes the systems your machine knows about. An
|
|
entry is introduced by the system keyword; the subsequent
|
|
lines up to the next system directive detail the parameters
|
|
specific to that site. Commonly, a system entry will define parameters
|
|
such as the telephone number and the login chat.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Parameters before the very first system line set default
|
|
values used for all systems. Usually, you will set protocol parameters
|
|
and the like in the defaults section.
