Actually there is. I think it's called TAP or some such thing. But I think I also heard that some paging vendors are dropping something related to this. One mentioned was AT&T.

The SMTP protocol is dirt-easy to learn so just write a sockets program, connect to a mail server on port 25 and send the e-mail. As for pricing for e-mail, can't help you there. Is there a standard for phone-line paging protocols? -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax [email protected] http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

Actually have one vendor where it's a no charge to use the modem, but if your email pages exceed a rather small amount they start heaping on some hefty charges. I like the price of open source. Paying $10,000 for paging software rather galls me. Open source isn't tiered priced.

Most cells and alpha-pages now have an e-mail address associated with them so isn't "paging" software just email. I know you can send and e-mail to [email protected] and it will show up on my phone. -Walden PS.
