Beepage is a Unix-based text paging package. Text pages sent by the client over TCP/IP are received by the provided server, which queues and transmits the data to any paging service providers that support the Telocator Alpha-numeric Protocol.

The beepage package includes two programs, a cleint and a server: beepaged, the Text Page Protocol daemon which accepts pages on a well-known TCP port and transmits them over one or more modems to a TAP (aka PET, IXA) paging-service provider; and beep, a command-line TPP client.

Two beepage clients are currently available:
"beep" a Unix command-line interface
"winbeepage" a Windows graphical interface

A Mac OS X version is nearing release.

The server is supported on the following platforms:
Solaris
Linux
OpenBSD

It probably works on other Unix-like operating systems.

What's New in This Release:
Improved TAP banner detection
First of several fixes related to the addition of MIME support
Cleaned up exit codes
