Re: [sendpage-devel] Sendpage Dialing Problems

[Walt W. <wd...@gm...>]

Hey Peter, it takes a man to admit when the problem was on his side and
that's what I'm doing. Though I had a correct paging number, the required
paging center number for my service was incorrect. :( /cry. Next I'll have
to check my companies pager records more closely.

However, it did give me a chance a read through some of the Perl code and
learn a lot about serial I/O with Perl. :) There's an upside to everything
if you look.

Anyway, I want to give a big thanks to the developers for such robust and
great opensource code!
