Dialcodes --
format of UUCP Dialcode abbreviations file
Format
abb dial_seq
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 line in Dialcodes contains the following two
whitespace-separated fields:
abb-
the abbreviation used in the Systems file
phone field
dial_seq-
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.
