Subject: Numeric paging
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 17:00:25 -0500

I'm using the numeric paging script from
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/scripts/ckermit/numpage to
dial numeric pagers. The call, however, rarely completes on the first
dial. Generally it retries 3-5
times before the page completes. I've tried this on two different
(similarly configured) machines,
with the same result.
I'm running RedHat Linux 6.2, using an external USR modem. The script
detects that the modem is
capable of using the '@' (quiet) command and issues a dialing string
such as
ATD18009999999@9999#;
Anyone have a hint as to what the problem might be?
