Alphanumeric paging Info

I am in need of assistance in locating or creating a program that will
allow a small stream of data from a serial port to be sent to a
alphanumeric paging terminal for transmission to a pager. This data
will be sent to only one pager number so I do not need many extras
included. I have a Parallax Stamp and Cermetek modem cube. Thanks Don

Jury Rights

If a juror feels that the statute involved in any criminal case being
tried is unfair, or that it infringes upon the defendant's natural
God-given inalienable, or Constitutional rights, then it is his DUTY to
affirm that the offending statute is really no law at all and that the
violation of it is no crime at all-- FOR NO ONE IS BOUND TO OBEY AN
UNJUST LAW.

That Juror must vote "Not Guilty" regardless of the pressures or abuses
that may be heaped upon him by any or all members of the jury with whom
he may, in good conscience, disagree. He is voting on the justice of the
law according to his own conscience and convictions and not somebody
else's. THE LAW, ITSELF, IS ON TRIAL, QUITE AS MUCH AS THE CAUSE TO
WHICH IS TO BE DECIDED.
by Justice Harlan F. Stone, Chief Justice, United States Supreme Court.

    Hi Don -

    I've never done this, but prior posts on the subject have suggested that
    many pager companies have a SERVICE for doing just that. You can dial up a
    phone into their computer, establish yourself (ID & Password I'd guess) and
    then send your message to a particular Pager ID.

    The "program" is just any terminal program - Windows HyperTerminal, or any
    of 1000 other PC dialer and terminal programs found on the web. I'm sure
    there's an equivalent for the Mac, and Linux. Whatever the platform,
    there's shreware of freeware available. If you have trouble with this part,
    contact me offlist with the type of platform you're using.

    At that juncture either a PC or a Stamp could be used for the purpose. I'm
    not sure what advantage the Stamp would have, unless this is a remote
    application.

    That may give you a direction. The DTMFOUT code is in the doxs, and the
    modem should be fairly well covered in the modem dox. If there are any
    specific questions - ask away. I'm sure someone will field them - if not me.

    Regards,
