sendpage nightmare!!

[System Administrator <root@beyond-the-illusion.com>]

Hello everyone.

I need some help getting sendpage working on the following system.  

AMD 486 DX4 100MHz
RedHat 4.0 Linux with 2.0.22 kernel
HylaFAX v4.0pl1
AMD 486 DX/4 100MHzSupraFAXModem 288 with ROM version V1.440-25-V34_DS
USA Mobile NorthEast Ohio Paging Service  (1200BPS 7E1 XON/XOFF)

I have been through the mailinglist archives, but none of the examples
I found seem to work.  Most would not even get me to the CONNECT 1200
message.  My current config is below:

SessionTracing:		4111

ModemType:		Class2		# use this to supply a hint
ModemRate:		19200
ModemFlowControl:	rtscts		# XON/XOFF flow control assumed

#
# USA MOBILE Pager Service Commands
#

PagerSetupCmds:		ATE0B0S37=5N0W2&Q6F4
PagerMaxMsgLength:	128
IXOService:		``PG''
IXODeviceID:		``1''
IXOMaxUnknown:		20
IXOIDProbe:		2
IXOIDTimeout:		60
IXOLoginRetries:	3
IXOLoginTimeout:	60
IXOGATimeout:		60
IXOXmitRetries:		4
IXOXmitTimeout:		60
IXOAckTimeout:		60

I have kicked up all the timeout values in an effort to rule out
errors caused by timeouts.  I have tried numerous combinations of 1200
to 38400 and XONXOFF and RTSCTS in the ModemRate and ModemFlowControl
fields respectively.  In addition, I have tried numerous combinations
on modem commands in the PagerSetupCmds field.   The current
configuration is the only one that has gotten me as far as the "ID="
prompt at the pager terminal on numerous occasions.  I have attempted
to get technical information from USA Mobile, but all they can tell me
is the connect parameters, and tell me for anymore information to call
the 1-800 number for the software.  The terminal access number is
18006889259 and my pager ID is 9813324 if anyone wants to see if the
terminal works with their coniguration.  Make sure you include your
e-mail address.  Below is a session tracing log for the above
parameters.

I am not really sure if the problem is with my configuration, or with
the paging terminal itself.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
