pagecall command
Use the pagecall command to send a written message to another station. The
receiving station automatically sends an acknowledgment response when the call is
received.
Syntax
pagecall <destination>[@<network>] "<message>" [from <self
address>[@<network>]]
where:
<destination>[@<network>] is the address [and network] of the station to
which you want to send the message.
NOTE
The permitted message length depends on the type of call system, the
Privacy Mode selected, and the character set (see Table 34).
