I believe Tom Limoncelli's "tpage" package speaks IXO, and it's written
largely in perl, on top of it.

UWM has my "netpage" prototype network-oriented paging service as well, but
that requires a paging module to dial the paging service.  The one provided
module knows how to dial into my service's ASCII-oriented service, but would
be a good source if you want to start hacking on it.
