Then you haven't even gotten as far as the TAPMSG script. First you have to
translate the page service's instructions for connection into an appropriate
replacement for the APAGE macro -- put the service's phone number into it,
replacing the dummy one, and change the other communications parameters as
appropriate (modem type, speed, parity, etc). Once you get a successful
connection, then if the services is a standard TAP service, the macro should
work.
(Again, as noted earlier today, you might have to pick up a fresh copy of
the ckepage.ksc file if your version of C-Kermit complains about "line too
long" when TAKEing the ckepage.ksc file...)

Your paging service. The fact that you can call other computers does not
mean you can call a paging service using the same parameters -- they often
have rather strict requirements as to speed, parity, modem protocols, etc.
