hey,
perms on my qpage.cf file are 644, I doubt that is the problem. but at
first glance, i think your pager defition of Motorola Wordline is wrong.
pager=<Motorola Wordline>
pagerid=<2704>
service=<Paging Services Ltd)
the pager definitions you have at the bottom of your qpage.cf file are
correct. it looks like you were trying to setup a service maybe?? not
sure, try commenting that out first. second question, have you tried
turning on debugging?? try and send a page like this
$ qpage -i -d wash "test page"
-i is interactive mode, and i used that a lot when i was first debugging
qpage. see if that gives you some more verbose output, and possibly the
location of the error. what about logging? is it logging any specific
errors? lastly, one thing i figured out while testing qpage. the baud rate
for TAP/IXO in some cases with some services should not exceed 300 baud. i
know that sounds slow, but when your sending a small page, its really now
that big of a deal. while your testing, try changing that from 38400 to 300
baud, or possibly 1200. let me know if this helps out. later!
