- I am interested in an answering machine that will call my
- pager/beeper.
-
- I already have some good answering machines (Panasonic KX-T1470).
-
- Originally I posted here a request for information on a device that
- would work with my existing machines to call my pager.
-
- Here in summary is the problem with the external devices:
- They tend to be more expensive then a new answering machine. Also
- they rely on a "TIME" factor to guess whether a message has been left
- or not.
-
- If I programed the device to call me only if the caller stayed on the
- line 30 seconds and the caller used the asterisk to stop the OGM
- message and left me a message without using up 30 seconds of time I
- would not be beeped.
-
- I also tried this program from a BBS:
- BEEPME30.ZIP 26055 04-05-91 TSR BEEPS PAGER WHEN MESSAGE LEFT ON
- ANS. MACHINE.
-
- This program doesn't care whether or not a message was left. It will
- dial your beeper anytime your phone got a ring.
-
- BEEPME30 can be set to page you as soon as someone turns on your
- computer or accesses a predetermined directory so it would be useful
- to some in specialized applications. It can also be used to page at
- preset dates and times.
-
- Anyhow I would like recommendations on answering machines that will
- call my pager ONLY if a message is left.
-
- Thanks
