Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-22 Severity: normal I intend to orphan the qpage package. It's non-free, but it's not extremely non-free (if you subscribe to that type of thinking). Aside from needed a rewrite to support threading (and preferably in Perl), it's a very solid program and has been the primary production notification system at several of my employers. The source is in C, and is fairly easy to hack. Upstream is not active.
The package description is: QuickPage is a paging program. It can speak SNPP (Simple Network Paging Protocol, RFC 1861) to another paging server, or it can act as an SNPP server and dial your modem to send alphanumeric pages. . HylaFAX contains similar functionality but is more complex by at least an order of magnitude. If you just need to send pages, this does (most) everything you want.
