- I have a program that I wrote doing this at work. I use a Macintosh
- to periodically dial up and assess the health of a mainframe computer.
- Should the program detect anything wrong, it dials a series of pager
- numbers, pauses a bit for the pager beep-beep-beep prompt to
- complete,] and then sends a ten digit Touch-Tone(tm) code down the
- line.
-
- The recipient of the page then looks up the code to determine what
- should be done to correct the problem.
-
- No problem. It works the same as if you dialed the pager number from
- your phone.
