Re: Configuring Hylafax for sending pagers.



Swaminathan -

Hi.  Since you omitted to mention where you intend to run this, I assume 
it is with Singapore paging networks.  Well, unfortunately, you are out 
of luck there.  The paging telcos in Singapore do not support any of the 
protocols that hylafax uses.   Of course, you are more than welcome to 
investigate it and roll that into hylafax.

Regards.
