I made a (very unreliable) script which would send a number to a numeric
pager, without using IXO/TAP. The problem is that it doesn't really do
anything but
send ATDTphonenumber
wait a while
send pagernumber
wait a while
send numericcode
wait
hang up
Unfortunately, this is unreliable with all the pager systems I had access
to. They wanted you to listen to the whole message, which was of varying
length. :-(

You'll have to translate the various parts of the status to a number. I
had a script which did that..., yup, still do. If someone wants it, ask.
