There is a freeware application called "qpage" which can send messages
to a pager via a modem (such as the built-in modem) on Macs. Dartware
has conveniently compiled the application and it can be downloaded from
http://www.dartware.com/qpage/index.html
It should be very easy to call from a Rev app.
