nvpagerd and Sprint PCS phones.

["Bill Evans" <bill_evans@sra.com>]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

This isn't quite the answer you wanted but my advice is DON'T use nvpagerd 
unless you already have it configured.  nvpagerd is seventies technology.  
E-mail works faster and most of the paging services provide e-mail portals 
today.  It saves you all the trouble of getting the NetView customization for 
the service set up.   You do have to configure sendfile to route to the network 
though.  

It's also far more efficient to send e-mail to the paging service and in the 
case of Sprint PCS  the messaging service.  First make sure your Sprint PCS 
subscriber is paying the extra buck and a half monthly for the messaging 
service and then send an e-mail to his phone number as in my signature block.  

Unix services provide the sendmail capability and NetView for NT provides the 
NVMAIL command to do the same.  

These two lines executed as a batch file (aka shell script ) from trap 
customization on NT send the test message through an smtp server at 
nnn.nnn.31.31.  Unix syntax for sendmail differs slightly (I couldn't locate my 
Unix version).  I use the intermediate file for debugging.  
  echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 > \usr\OV\log\trapmail.log
  nvmail -server "nnn.nnn.31.31" -recipient 
"9196967513@messaging.sprintpcs.com" -subject "Test   message" -file 
\usr\OV\log\trapmail.log

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:
