Thanks Mike.

Yep those are of the 'I shoulda tho't of that...' variety.

After Chris' response I did get on the box w/ a serial application and was able to do an 'atdt9,5039864609' (my number) and it did make my phone ring. So Intermapper and the modem seem to have a problem communicating. Chris is helping, I sent him a log file.

Thanks for the ideas tho, don't want one of those moments...!

Have you plugged a phone in to that back of the modem that tried the dialing
string?
Have you entered the serial port and tried the ATDT string?

I'm trying to setup a notification using an Alphanumeric pager
(dial-up) under OSX.

It's from a Tiger (10.4.6) desktop with a built-in 56kb Apple
modem.  I get a dial-tone on the line I want to use, but I get
this error in the log:

   Modem Page Server Failure: Modem reported line busy.  Page not
sent for pager number xxxxxxxxxx (Reply = 12)

I'm sure many have set this up successfully and I'm merely missing
something obvious...


This means that the modem itself is reporting that it received a
busy signal when it dialed. The two chief causes of this are 1)
that the number you've dialed is, in fact, busy (did you dial it on
your phone to see if this was so?), and 1) that you've forgotten to
add whatever prefix your PBX/Centrex/etc. needs to dial out. For
example, I have to add "9," to any phone number I configure for an
alphanumeric pager.

Thanks for the quick reply Christopher.

I did think of that so I did call the number and it wasn't busy.
And I added the '9' as you suggested.  Still no go.


Nonetheless, the modem says the line is busy. Probably the best thing
to do is to send me a paging log off-list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] To
get a paging log, go the Server Settings, click on Log Files, and add
a log with the name "Paging". Cause the paging notification to happen
again. The log will contain a complete transcript of InterMapper's
communication with the modem. Then attach the log to the email
describing your problem. (You can find the log at
/Library/Application Support/InterMapper Settings/InterMapper Logs.)
Before sending it, you might look it over to see if the problem jumps
out at you.

Thanks.
