I work for Siemens Building Technologies in South Florida (yes, I'm aware you said SouthWest). We use the Nextel units for our 100+ member branch. The service we subscribe to includes radio, alpha paging and cellular service. I haven't been able to find a non-M$ paging app yet, but if you go to http://page.nextel.com you can page any Nextel user (who subscribes to the paging service) with your favorite web browser. All you need to know is the person's 10 digit number (Area Code + Phone #). Here, our local call range extends statewide. AFAIK, Nextel is nationwide. You might want to research where they have towers/range in your area. In the SouthWest US, the range kicks ass. I've even seen their cell towers up in the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee where there's no large cities nearby. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Erin }Sent: Friday, September 08, 2000 2:37 PM }To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: Paging } } }I am looking for an alphanumeric/numeric paging service that has the }following features; } }--> Internet capable pages (maybe via a .cgi or with software for }Free/OpenBSD) }--> Very good coverage in South-West US, or at least in }Southern California }--> Something that's not going to cost me my child's college }fund each }month. } } }Does anyone have any idea's? } } }Thanks, } }Erin } } }mailto:kahn@deadbbs.com }http://www.deadbbs.com }http://www.fortenberry.net } } }"Can i dial 1-255-255-255255 and make every phone in the world ring?" } }-- Tanuki } } } }To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org }with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
