Re: nvpagerd and Sprint PCS phones....

["James Shanks" <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

You probably cannot do this if what you are trying to do is dial the guy's 
phone.

nvpagerd is expecting to talk to another computer and negotiate a  session 
with it using the TAP  protocol.
It does not talk to the user's pager but to a paging service.  The only 
exceptions are direct dial cases where it just sends digits right after 
the it dials the phone,
and unless you have a direct dial device which will capture those and 
display them they will be lost.

My suggestion is that you call Sprint and tell them that you have a 
computer that you want to send pages to this guy's PCS phone and they will 
tell you what you need to do.  You may be required to buy a service from 
them, I don't know, but they will have to tell you at least what phone 
number  and PIN to use.

Help Anyone with Sprint PCS and nvpager experience!

I'm running NV 6.0.2 on AIX 4.3.3.10.

Can someone please share their experience on how to successfully page
someone's Sprint PCS phone?
I'm calling 888656172 w/ 7E1 word length at 2400 baud. The nvpagerd.alog
shows:

                 Carrier sprint rejected message or pager ID.

Thanks
