Readme File Information:
Readme file for NotePager Net version 2.0
Also applicable to PageGate version 2.0
Overview:
NotePager Net is a network Paging application. It allows an unlimited number
of workstations on a network to send messages to the NotePager Net paging
server, which in turn sends the messages (via a modem or a direct cable
connection) to your paging carrier(s) for delivery. Your paging carrier will
then send the message to the appropriate pager, phone, or paging device. The
NotePager Net GUI client application is one of several front-end interfaces
available for the PageGate paging server. It can be used alone, or in
conjunction with any or all of the other interfaces.
There are two separate components to the NotePager Net paging application:
a server application, and a client application. From here forward, the
client portion will be referred to as NotePager Net, and the server portion
will be referred to as PageGate. Both NotePager Net and PageGate must be
installed, setup, and running for messages to be successfully sent to a pager.
Please refer to NotePager Net's and PageGate's help files for more information
on the capabilities and operation of NotePager Net and PageGate.
Shareware Information:
NotePager Net defaults into a 'shareware mode' until it is registered
(purchased). Registration information can be entered into PageGate's Admin
program by choosing the 'Register' menuitem from the 'Help' menu. Both the
NotePager Net client and the PageGate server application are registered there.
The shareware version only allows NotePager Net to display the first five
users in PageGate's user database. In addition, the PageGate paging server
application will only allow for the setup of two users, and will stop itself
every 3-5 days. PageGate's admin program must be used to restart the paging
engine after this time period.

that supports Windows95, Windows98, Windows NT workstation, or Windows NT
