It looks like you will have to build the entire package, but you
only need to install the client portion (make installClient).
If you install my client patch then "faxsetup -client" will work correctly.
Don't forget to set your FAXSERVER environment variable on the client
and add the client to the .../spool/etc/hosts file on the server.

Subject: SENDPAGE to ordinary paging company
Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com

Hello all,

I have been trying to use the SENDPAGE feature of hylaFAX with no success.
I have setup the etc/pagermap like below:

chris     98015111

The pager is not alphanumeric pager.
So I invoke the sendpage like:

sendpage -n -p chris 9334237
where is '9334237' is the number that I want to display on the pager screen.

Here is the log:

I don't know why Sendpage do not try to send the numeric tones once the
modem has dialed the pager company's number successfully. In stead, it 
complain that theere is 'no carrier'.

Is sendpage need a modem to answer the senpage call ?
In manpage it mentioned something about some standard that the pager company
need to comply before sendpage will work.
I thought I can use sendpage to dail a pager number just like a human does.
Am I missing some fundamental concepts here ?

Thanks for the attention.
