If the remote system is to be reached over a telephone line, the
|
|
phone field specifies the number the modem should dial. It
|
|
may contain several tokens interpreted by uucico's dialing
|
|
procedure. An equal sign means to wait for a secondary dial tone, and
|
|
a dash generates a one-second pause. For instance, some telephone
|
|
installations will choke when you don't pause between dialing the
|
|
prefix code and telephone number.
|

|
<B>[Don't know the proper English term for this-- you know,
|
|
something like a company's private internal installation where you
|
|
have to dial a 0 or 9 to get a line to the outside.]</B>

|
|
Any embedded alphabetic string may be used to hide site-dependent
|
|
information like area codes. Any such string is translated to a
|
|
dialcode using the dialcode file. Suppose you have the
|
|
following dialcode file:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P><P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
With these translations, you can use a phone number such as
|
|
Bogoham7732 in the sys file, which makes things probably
|
|
a little more legible.
