Qpage stuffs messages to those just fine, once you RTFM and figure out you have to dial the 888 number to page to the PCS stuff. The protocol is the TAP protocol, so Qpage, Tpage, Hylafax, or Sendpage should work fine, though I recommend Qpage, because it's the easiest, as Hylafax wants to do a lot more than just paging, and the other two haven't been submitted to the ports collection yet, that I'm aware of.
