I was wondering if someone has a better way, maybe perl, chat, a well written C program, etc. to do this. Most pager companies these days have an e-mail interface. I use AirTouch, and any message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will appear on my pager (assuming the message is less than 245 characters long). While I have an alphanumeric pager, this would also work with numeric pagers - just send a numeric message. However I wasn't very happy with the interface to AirTouch's system, so I wrote a Perl script that removes extra spaces and blank lines, includes the From and Subject headers, checks the length, and sends it to both the AirTouch e-mail and my regular e-mail addresses. So now if you mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (*much* easier to remember, too) it gets processed by this script. I also wrote a similar one that works from a web page (there's a link to it from my homepage, URL listed below, if you want to look at the web page). If anyone is interested in getting copies of these scripts, mail me. If you are an AirTouch customer and would like to use these scripts running on my system for your pages, let me know and maybe we can work something out. They should work for any AirTouch customer, and it should be possible to adapt it to other pager companies as well. --Bill. P.S.: If you want to page me please don't do so between the hours of 10pm and 10am Pacific time.

I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but the hylafax program includes support for sending both faxes and pages. Hylafax is a very cool system once you get it working. It might be too much for your needs however.

It might be too much for your needs however. Yup.. I know Hylafax.. since it was FlexFax.. I was a beta tester for Sam Leffler on $CO Unix many years ago. It's way overkill for my needs. Right now, the command line I run to page myself looks like: beep -n 555-1212555-1313 /dev/ttyS1 This will dial 555-1212, pause for 2 secs, (hoping the other end picks up) and enters 555-1313 as the number that will show up on the pager. The program has no concept of busy, no dialtone, etc... it looks for nothing from the modem.. it just talks blind to it. Maybe I'll rape some code out of mgetty.. dunno...

The qpage package may do what you need. It's in the unstable/net directory.

Example dial script for diald to call ppp PLEASE
Him I am trying to get diald working. I have managed to get a working script to call and link ppp up to my ISP. Unfortunately I did this by pretty much copying the cookbok approach in the ISP hookup HowTo. I hav alaso got diald configure to the point that when I route traffic to the IPS it will call a dialer script. Unfortunately the one that I have working form th command line won't work. I realive that I have to take some things out of it, since it manuallly specefies some things that diald takes care of for me. But since I don't understand the script I have, I don't know wherre to start hacking. Could some kind souls please send me an example dialing script that could be called from diald ?
