The paging provider's dialup only supports > the IXO protocol... Thanks in advance! 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. ...
