Re: Sending alphanumeric data to pager

Thank you for your response, Matthias.
I am still trying to synchronise my code.
1.
I do not know password.
After receiving ID=
when I sent <ESCAPE>PG1 ---> this is what TAP specs says
I receive some garbage like:
i

but when I sent as you said: PG1 (without <ESCAPE> --->how important that
is?)
then response is:
ak
which I take for repeat request
TAP's the closest spec is <CR><NAK><CR>
Does it mean the server is not 100% TAP compatible?
2.
I am still trying to get hold of that protocol.
Login (password) will allow me to connect to server. But where is the place
to input the address (ID of some kind) of receiver of my message? Or I am
missing something here?
3.
Sometimes, one of the responses from server is:

TCS
I cannot find that in TAP specs.
Thanks for your help,
Frank
