RE: {bb} SMS Paging with Aussie Telco's - Vodafone, Telstra

[Jesse Reynolds <lizst@va.com.au>]

Well, one of my clients is on Telstra and he needs to be paged when his
server is down... What is the protocol that Telstra use? Is it TAP or CIMD?
Or something different?

Do you use the sms.scr script with modifications?

Thanks!
