    OK, I bought me a pager. The company says it's standard IXO, 
    even parity, 7 bits, one stop bit, and it is a numeric only pager.
    
    I program my pagermap with an alias for me:
    
    	raoul	555-1212
    
    I now wish to send a message:
    
    "sendpage -n -p raoul 1234567".
    
    I expect this to send a numeric page to my pager. Instead, the modem
    picks up, gets the voice message, waits for a while, then
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

what does the "voice" tell the modem and do both handshake
a modem protocol, e.g. V.22 or something else?

    hangs up. It eventually repeats until it declares the message dead, and
    reports back saying the line is busy.
    
    Is there something obvious? Or should I start posting logs?

first try to get the modem and the remote side connected
and once they are CONNECT'ed check the log for the low-level
IXO/TAP protocol;

    The system is Linux RedHat 5.0 on a Pentium, HylaFAX v4.0pl2, the
    pager company is PageMart, and the modem is USR 33.6 Sportster.
