Whops - I guess I should have explained a little bit better.  I need
a script that will call me beeper when a fax comes in.  I need to work
in a lab which is not on the internet and have to know when a new
fax arrives on my HP.  The script has to handle calling the 800
number for Skypage and then dealing with the prompts....

Can anyone help?
