Re: "data collection" / pager mods

Thought I'd let you all know that I've found the transceiver:

Motorola Creatalink 2XT

I don't know if there are others out there as well, but this one seems to fit the bill for me. I'll keep a project update on my site.

The automated pages will be sent from remote locations - a modem won't be able to pull it off in my design & cell phone would be overkill for this app. Any OEM modules for pager transmitters?
