Greetings Alpha OSF Mngrs (again),
Well it seems that people seem to think it would be nice to
have, but nobody has bowled me over with a mind-bonk (oif)
solution. My apologies for not doing this earlier; the volume
of incoming mail is driving me berserk (biff -n)...

I tried hooking up the data scope to reverse engineer Winpage
running on a 386 DOS PC, it actually was connecting at 2400 bps.

The practical upshot of this is, nobody knows all that much about
it. Our Alphanumeric pager robot uses a setup called Page Entry
Terminal (PET) Protocol. Messages are checksummed. I created a
KERMIT take file script to send the checksummed message as follows:
set parity odd
show parameters
output ATZE0V1\13
input 5 OK
xif FAILURE { echo \13NO MODEM, goto END } else { echo \13 }
dial T0,123456789
xif FAILURE { echo \13DIALUP FAILED, goto END } else { echo \13 }
output \13
input 5 ID=
xif FAILURE { echo \13ID FAILED, goto END } else { echo \13 }
output \27password\13
input 5 \06
xif FAILURE { echo \13LOGIN FAILED, goto END } else { echo \13 }
xmit testpager.msg
input 5 mess
xif FAILURE { echo \13MSG FAILED ???, goto END } else { echo \13 }
output \04\13
input 5 \04
xif FAILURE { echo \13HANGUP FAILED, goto END } else { echo \13 }
:END
hangup
This could be set up to launch via rsh from the console
manager...
What I would really like is a solution that works from a
mailer...
