What's a relay page, and how could I make this more well-behaved?  Should I check 'caller' instead of 'player'?

well it depends, you don't want to be able to page people who are in the
same room, or you don't want people paging you if you are in the same room?

If you don't want people paging you, you can always code your :receive_page,
here's a sample could probably be fixed up more..

if (player.location==this.location)
player:tell("Please use say or whisper instead.");
return 0;
else
return pass(@args);
endif

of course that will mess up relay pages and other things, but it's a start..
if you don't want to be able to page other people you can code your :page
(and ' verb) pretty much the same way...

if you're doing this elsemoo and want to add it to the default player, just
stick that in :receive_page or somewhere...
