Here is the piece out of my fpac.conf file that handles the alias for the telpac
app. I have included the whole thing so you can see what I did:
--------------------------- Begin insert ----------------------------------
# List of aliases
#

Alias = W4MIN
        Path = W4MIN,863494
End
#
Alias = W4DPH
        Path = W4DPH,727442
End
#
Alias = TELPAC
        Path = KP4DJT-10,813626
End
----------------------------------- End Insert -------------------------------
