Very Computer

We currently have a few alphanumeric beepers at our system, and I'm
working on a script that auto dials a alpha beeper, then PIN, then
ascii text message.  I can get it to transmit numeric data using the
normal beeper number,

I talked to a representative at Metromedia Paging and they gave me a
modem number, but it connects and then hangs up.  Supposedly, their
software, which can be purchased, uses that to accomplish what I want
to do without their software.  I.e, their software asks me for the PIN,
and the ascii message, and their interface, calls the modem, and does
the work.  Does anyone have any ideas/scripts, etc that could do what I
need it to do?  

but he's no longer at that account.  Thanks for any insight.

Or for something a bit more ambitious (faxing too...), look at the
Hylafax program on sgi.com:/sgi/fax/.

Where can we find tpage?

You should check out tpage, a very good public domain alphanumeric
pager system with rudimentary scheduling. We have just finished
installing it and it works like a charm!

Sorry to followup my own post but I have received email saying that this
site was unreachable or their nameserver couldn't find it. So I have
uploaded it to ftp.neosoft.com /pub/users/b/billw/tpage.tar.gz

There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the
credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.

Hello...I got that file both there and at the other site.  The Makefile
that the docs say to use isn't in those different packages..

I tried emailing the author and tried joining the Maillist and it's
obviously been deleted.  Any support can be appriciated
