Overview
========
This distribution contains software which can send numeric or alphanumeric
messages to pagers via a modem. It contains two components, the
InstantPaging server and InstantPaging client as defined above.
Users can send messages directly from the InstantPaging server or over the
network from the InstantPaging clients. The InstantPaging clients connect
to the InstantPaging server using SNPP (Simple Network Paging Protocol) and
makes requests to send pages to <users>.
The InstantPaging server sends messages to <users> by simple dialup for
numeric pagers, or by using TAP (Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol) for
alphanumeric pagers.
Using this software you can send pages directly from the command line or
through a monitoring framework such as Sun Management Center.
See the sections "Command Line Usage" and "Setting up InstantPaging for
Sun Management Center" in the README.install file for details.
