Abstract:

A method for providing pager services to users of a computer network (10) is presented. The method includes the step of sending pager address data and pager message data from a client node (14) on a computer network (10) to a primary pager server (40) on the computer network (10). The primary pager server (40) converts the pager address data into operating instructions for an external communications medium interface device, and communicates with a pager system via the external communications medium interface device. The primary pager server (40) then sends the pager message data to the pager system using the external communications medium interface device.
