Paging Transport for Newton 2.0 is shareware, $10.00 US

It can send and receive alpha text messages via the Socket PageCard (pager) and 
any of a variety of Newton compatible modems, including cellular and landline based
PC Card modems.

This is an extension that installs a communications transport which can be used
with most paging services (SkyTel, MobileComm, etc..) using Telecator Access
Protocol (TAP).  It can also read messages from the Socket Communications
PageCard.  Some of the other features include: 
	
	1) The ability to poll the pager for new messages.
	
	2) A backdrop application button (in the status bar) for easy access to 
	   checking your messages on the pager.
	   
	3) CardFile (Names) lookup.  When a message comes in with just a phone number, 
	   the number is matched against phone number combinations found in the Names
	   soup.  If a match is found, useful information from the Names entry is added
	   to the message and displayed.
	   
	4) Page sending and receiving.

This transport will allow you to send text messages from any application that
1) has an Action (Routing) button, and 2) has text as a dataType for routing
purposes (Names, Notes, Dates, etc.. all do).  The most common application to use
is Notes.

To send a page to someone: write something on the Notepad (make sure the text is
recognized) then tap the Action button, and select "Page", etc..

To read pages from your Socket PageCard: insert the pager card into the PCMCIA slot,
then go to the InBox application from the extras drawer.  Tap the receive button
and select "Page" from the menu.  Or if you've checked the "Install Notepad access
button" item on the prefs dialog, tap the envelope icon at in the status bar of the
backdrop application.

You can modify some of the PageCard settings in the In/OutBox prefs entry for the
paging transport.  Tap the [i] button in the lower left hand corner of the
In/OutBox window, then select "Page" from the menu.
