i've got a server in London, UK that from time to time needs some attention.

i've been using hylafax here in canada to send off alpha and/or numeric
messages using a dial-up into the pager company and the IXO or ITAP protocols.

works quite nicely.

in any case, i would like to do the same thing for the technicians in London,
however, they aren't clue'd enough to ask their pager company the right
questions and/or the pager companies i've called were not clue'd enough to
understand what i was asking.

any recommendations for direct-access pagers and/or cellphones in the UK?


Hutchison Paging [part of Orange] are able to do this with TAP -
we use sendpage to send messages. http://www.orange.co.uk/

Neil.
