g-page 2.14

g-page is a client/server program for Unix designed to send text message's to alphanumeric pagers or PCS phones with short messaging, SMS, capabilities.

g-page currently supports three protocols: SNPP (simple network paging protocol), SMTP (email), and WCTP (wireless communication transfer protocol). g-page can work on a stand-alone workstation or across a network. The server needs a live Internet connection to dispatch the page.

The g-page client requires Gtk , the server requires libghttp and libexpat however does not require an X server and runs well on old hardware with limited ram.

Support for the following protocols:
- SNPP (simple network paging protocol)
- SMTP (email)
- WCTP (wireless communication transfer protocol)
- One way, 1.5 and 2 way paging are supported for WCTP
- Support for canned message replies for 2 way WCTP transmissions
- Full 2 way message reply logging for the WCTP protocol
Built in redundancy paging
- User defined protocol precedence : You can set the order in which g-page will attempt to send the pages
- Protocol rollover: If a page fails via one protocol you can have g-page automatically attempt it using a different protocol
- Support for sending a carbon copy of every page sent to a receiver to their email for a receiver's message log
- Automatic rollover to a local snpp server (for dispatch via the TAP protocol) if a live Internet connection can't be found
- Automatic executing of an Internet dial-up script if a live connection can't be found

- Store pre-defined groups in software
- Create groups on the fly
Message log viewer

Autosplit of longer pages
- If a page is longer than the messaging service allows g-page will automatically spit the page up into smaller consecutive pages
