{bb} Pager Problems

[Jack Davis <webmaster@bootheel.net>]

The path to kermit is correct. bbchkcfg.sh doesn't return 
any warnings and when I added the line from below to 
sendmsg, the BBOUT file looks like this:

debug: /usr/local/bin/kermit /usr/local/bb/etc/numeric-k6.scr ttyline
1800mypager 600xxxxxxxxxxxx1588810

I can access kermit through the command line just fine 
with something like:

C-Kermit>set modem hayes
C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS1
C-Kermit>set speed 1200
C-Kermit>dial 1800mypager,,,,,,1234
 Trying 1800mypager,,,,,,1234...
 Device: /dev/ttyS1, modem: hayes-2400, speed: 1200
 Dial timeout: 70 seconds
 To cancel: type your interrupt character (normally Ctrl-C).

This way the call goes through just fine. I have tried 
both numeric.scr and numeric-k6.scr and can't get anything
to work at all. I still get the email pages, but the modem
never even attempts to dial. The line I have in
bbwarnrules.cfg and need to work is:

*;;*;;*;*;root@localhost 1800mypager

and the ttyline entry in bbwarnsetup.cfg is:

ttyline: /dev/ttyS1

I will continue to play around with numeric-k6.scr,
but if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the
help.
BTW-I am using C-Kermit 7 Beta if there are any issues
with that.

Thanks in advance
