Hiya,

Does anyone know of any paing software for SCO Unix?  I'm looking for
a utility (Freeware/Shareware/Proprietary/Anything) which uses a
modem to send out pages to a beeper. (alphanumeric or touch-tone) I
talked to SCO Canada but their referrals all turned out to be dead
ends. 

Also, where can I find the latest sources to "tpage" by Tom
Limoncelli?  The version I found was from 1992. (perhaps this is the
latest?)  Has anyone successfully ported this to SCO?

Thanks for any help,

In the March/April, 1994 issue of SysAdmin, on page 71, there was an excellent
article on using UUCP as an early-warning system to your pager...I followed
the scripts and successfully installed a similar system with modifications
customized to my site.  The ftp site for the source is ftp.uu.net...look for
../published/sysadmin/1994...look for that month's issue under this directory.

Hope this helps!

Ask at compaq, they have a complete package. Sorry I do not know the name 
sounds like compaq-utils.

There you find a pager-option.
