First of all many thanks to James Shanks who put me on the right track.
Unfortunately the Dutch telephone company PTT doesn't use TAP or any
widely used protocol.
So we adapted the variables of an other protocol in nvpaging.protocols.
For now we adapted PAKNET and DIRECT_INPUT protocol to recognize prompt
and confirmation indications for Dutch PTT.
Only for "Confirmation response:" in nvpaging.protocols there is a
slight problem: we've set it to "Confirmation response: =80=". This the
response string given by PTT to confirm they accepted the message.
Instead of waiting for "=80=" the protocol waits for "Accepted" wich is
the default for "Confirmation response:".
We are left with one relevant issue. We don't yet know how to send a
numeric message containing the ip adres without the dots of a down node
(beacause of our numeric-only pagers) using the the pagernode in the
rule set. Netview keeps sending the name of ip adres with the dots.
As for Netview v5 AIX in general, it get the job done and then some.
