Some of them ( I mean pager companies) already have plain modem dial-in pools - you get connected,enter the pager ID and the message. In the worst scenario one can just use tip or cu to dial out and relay the message via some numeric code - you only have to find appropriate timing - I used to do it some time ago - was pretty handy, especially if one can memorize the codes :) Rashid > > > -matt > > -- > Matthew C.
