Is sendpage or some other alphanumeric paging program available from one of the repos for CentOS 5? I've checked rpmforge and epel. I just wanted to check to see if it might be available somewhere else before I resort to building from source.

Hylafax is in rpmforge and contains a sendpage implementation.
(maybe overkill, but you get alphanumeric paging and fax handling :-))

I saw the filename match for sendpage in Hylafax, but I wasn't sure if this was the the alphanumeric pager application or something to do with the fax service.
Does the Hylafax sendpage implementation include the SNPP listener?

"sendpage" is an snpp client. The hylafax "hfaxd" daemon contains an SNPP listener if a pagermap is configured.
% ps -ef | grep snpp uucp 4721 1 0 Aug09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hfaxd -s snpp -i hylafax
(This allows you to have multiple clients on different machines all talking to a central pager server)

Distributed as a tar file www.sendpage.org.
Are you sending to pagers or cell phones?
I just echo a message and pipe it to mail cellphone#@cellcarrier.com and that work to get text messages to cell phones.

I can use the tar file, but I was hoping to find it in a repo somewhere to make it easier to keep up with any updates.
I'm sending to a pager. This system monitors my network and let's me know if there are any problems. I'm using a pager because I want to hear about it if my Internet connection goes down. I couldn't find any way to send a text message to a cell phone without relying on the Internet connection.
