Sending email to a pager service doesn't work too well when the network
is
down...
I'm still on ancient NetView v5.1, but here is my definition for
SprintPCS
in my nv.carriers file. They probably aren't optimal, but they work for
me.
Carrier: sprintpcs
Modem phone #: 18886561727
Numeric IDs accepted on modem line: N
DTMF phone #:
Max. message length: 100
Max. digits in alphanumeric pager #: 10
Max. blocks/transaction: 1
Max. transactions/call: 10
Baud rate: 1200
Parity: E
Data bits: 7
Stop bits: 1
Password:
Protocol: TAP

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

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.
