MAIL <number>@<textanywhere>.co.uk FORMAT=SMS
The path of least resistance :) Jason.

[snip] Also, can Hobbit send a page to a traditional paging carrier? If so, how is that done?
You'll just need the appropriate software for your carrier. I've been using the Net::SNPP perl module as my pager supplier has an SNPP interface.
If all else fails, and if your pager company has a web form for sending pages, it's not that hard to post a form from a script... I've done it with AT&T, Arch and Skytel. It's generally easier than scripting logging in to a web page to test functionality.
I think one company even embedded instructions in the web page saying what would need to be posted to send a page.
