To send alphanumeric pages to a pager, if an email gateway is unavailable or undesirable, software is needed to control a modem which will dial a paging central, and deliver the pages using an ascii delivery system known as tap. sendpage implements all aspects of this type of software, including an snpp client, an snpp server, a queuing engine, a modem control engine, a tap communication system, and an email notification system.

this package provides the perl modules used to process snpp and tap pages.
