Hi Paul, Thanks for the tips. I've done a great deal of troubleshooting today! In the end, the paging provider was able to 'bridge' another pager that they had across our number, and they received the pages clear and complete, while I was receiving them garbled.
Apparently 2.5yrs is old for a pager, and it needs to be 'serviced'. Sounds like a money-making scam to me! Thanks for the reply. Cheers, Ben. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Carlson Sent: Thursday, 24 September 2009 11:22 a.m. To: InterMapper Discussion Subject: Re: [IM-Talk] Garbage Pages Ben, We used to have trouble with this, though at the time we were using an email interface to qpage from Intermapper. In our case it was usually noisy phone lines. Being in the tropics, our telco often experiences trouble corrosion or water in the lines causing poor quality connections. Our modems failing to connect with newer error correcting modulation schemes would fall back to older methods. When using a terminal program to test the connection we would see bursts or even continuous streams of garbage. We now send email directly to the paging company instead of using the dialup connection. Paul Carlson VP Network Administration Guam Cablevision, LLC.
