Howdy!
I have setup HylaFAX 4.0pl0, and the faxing works great!

I downloaded SkyTel's paging software (PC only) and used the same
800 number I am using for HylaFAX -- it worked fine. I even tried
using the same modem initialization string they do -- no worky!
I am using the defaults supplied with HylaFAX (7bit, even I think).
Q: What is the correct syntax for paging a numeric-only pager?
(e.g. sendpage -p"pin" -n "555-1212" ??)
this is explained in the man page of sendpage(1): all options for
a particular destination must precede the page ID specified with
-p option; example: sendpage -n -p 4711 1234567890
("4711" is the pin and "1234567890" is the message);
Q: I have checked the archives, FAQ, etc (I promise!), but there
isn't much on numeric-only pagers. Does anyone have any
words of wisdom in this regard?

yes; just collect a SessionTrace;
