But that is not one of Kermit's built-in modem types. What did you use
for a "set modem type" command? Does the Codex 3265 use the AT command
set?

:
There is no standard. It depends on both the service provider and the
modem. The basic steps are:
1. Use touch-tone (not pulse) dialing. If tone dialing is not available
in your area, you probably can't send numeric pages.
2. Dial the pager service number.
3. Wait till the phone answers: "@" in the example above, but "@" is not
necessarily supported by all modems -- in case it isn't, put ",,,,,,"
(a series of commas to get the needed amount of pausing) or other
notation understood by your modem.
4. The message: nnnnnnnnn" in the example.
5. The "pound" key (#). Most modems will send the "pound" tone when "#"
is included in the dial string, but I can't guarantee that every modem
will.
6. A semicolon at the end. This tells the modem to return to command
state rather than waiting for carrier tones. There is not a modem on
the other end of the call so there will be no carrier.
By the way, if you would like C-Kermit to support your modem directly, you
can send a copy of the manual (or at least the part the lists the command
set and response codes) to us.
