PAGEW.TXT

This archived file PAGEW.EXE contains this file and two sample scripts for
Procomm PLUS for Windows.

The first, PAGER.WAS shows one of many ways to setup a menued pager that gives
a choice of three pagers (by phone number) to call and a choice of three
messages (phone numbers) to send to the selected pager number.  With each\pager
number there is also a name assigned, and each message sent to them has a brief
phrase to help keep track of what the message numbers are.

The second script, PAGEMIKE.WAS does away with the menu and has provision for
only one pager number (and name) and only one message number (and associated
name phrase).

You will note that the paging service I use here answers and permits the entry
of the telephone number you want to appear on the pager display.  This service
then permits you to hangup or to send a "#" sign to indicate the end of the
sequence to be displayed.  The construction of the actual transmitted strings
make use of this "#" sign.  Your service may be different.

Very simple error trapping is done in case the modem does not respond properly.
Note that TXPACE and modem dialing speed are changed to cover most modems and
the dialing rate that most paging services will accept.  The modem is restored
afterward with an ATZ0, and you may need to change this, depending on how your
modem is setup.

Note in the header the lines which you may customize for your own use.  I
would suggest you make backups if you start to change the script or the timings
used, though you may have to modify things for your own use.

The trick here is obviously the use of the modem "," (comma) and";"
(semi-colon) commands.  Do look them up in your modem manual to see precisely
what they do.  Some modems, I have been told, list the ";" in their command
structure, but do not honor the command properly.

If you are dialing out on a phone line with Call Waiting I would suggest you
change the "ATDT" to "ATDT*70," or "ATDT*70W", again depending on your modem,
in the FIRST place it appears in the script to call the paging service number.
