There would be challenges to that. I used to work for a small company that specializes in systems for the paging industry (billing, provisioning, connects/disconnects and such). Everything happens on the telecom transport layer with paging unless you have a web interface to allow messages to be sent from a web page or transferred to an email medium.
The device you wish to initialize would need some kind of "receiver" to receive the page and transmit to a message. I'm sure it can be done but it depends on how much the effort means to you i.e. is it for your home use or business need. I missed the original thread so email me offline if this is what you might be looking for. -Alberto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Send nycwireless mailing list submissions to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of nycwireless digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
