    Just after I got your mail I received a description of the UCP/EMI protocol
    and started fiddleing with the pageSendApp. I managed to get a message 
    through. (I hardcoded the message into the program) I am not sure where
    to go from here, should the pageSendApp try to figure out if weither
    it is sending to IXO/TAP or UCP/EMI? Or should there be a field in the 
    pagermap telling the system which type of message center it is dealing
    with?
    
    I will investgate further and let you know, has anyone else done something
    similar? My guess is that Sam does not have access to SMS.

I've discussed this topic some weeks ago with Sam and the rigth
place should be the spool/info/{number} file where pageSendApp
should place an entry (or the sysadmin does that) after
figuring out what protocol the provider uses.
