Well, I received very few responses to my last posting, so here goes. What I want to do is to be able to send specific alphanumeric sequences to my Motorola PMR2000 beeper. There are two 40 character lines of display. The vendor is absolutely confused and unable to answer my questions about how this is done. About all they can tell me is "Wee sell a MS-DOS program that 'reprograms' (hah!) your modem to do this... you can also buy a terminal for a phone line to send out messages." This is really dumb. I've heard that there is a version of the UNIX program 'tip/cu' that knows how to reformat the codes this beeper wants from standard ascii. If this exists, I'd like to know where I can get it. Also, I need to find out what the 'PET' protocol is ... this is apparently what the beeper understands for command sequences. Does anybody know anything about this? This is a Motorola product. Is anybody from Motorola listening? Thanks, Greg Maples | These are my opinions, not yours. Keep your Systems Group Leader | hands off 'em.
