David -
Because of your append yesterday I played with this and admintool on Solaris
(though I did not have a modem set up to do a complete test). My first
suggestion is that you make sure you are running nvpagerd with the -d option so
that it will do a complete trace.
Next I used admintool and under "Browse" I selected "Serial Ports". Then I
selected ttya. I configured it as Terminal Type: Modem - Dial Out Only and
clicked "Expert" to show more options. I then set "Options" to "Initialize
Only" and just to make sure I blanked out "Login Prompt". Then I clicked "OK".
I configured /usr/OV/conf/nvpager.config to use ttya but let everything else
default (5853.modem 7,e,1, etc). Then I restarted nvpagerd and voila, I got all
the way down to where we send the init string to the modem.

Thanks for the suggestion but I got the same error messages when I tried it.
Thanks,

I would configure the nv.carriers file and try paging that way ( nvpage
2345678@<Carriername> " message..." )...

Subject: HELP! Paging Problems With Netview v5.1
Has anyone seen a problem with getting the paging software to work? I am
trying to test the paging capabilities of Netview v5.1 running Solaris 2.6
on an ultra 10 machine but I can't get the nvpage program to work. I have
successfully used the 'cu -d -lttya -s1200 -e <number>' command to connect
to another unix box but when I execute the 'nvpage <number> <message>'
command my modem never goes off hook or dials the pager number. I do get
the
message that the job was queued, though. Below is the output of the log
files. Does anyone have an idea what these messages mean? Any help would
be
greatly appreciated.
