Sending SMS using DUN

[rjennings]

Hello

I currently have PageGate setup and working to send pages via TAP to Verizon devices and to T-Mobile devices using SMTP.

Having to send pages to the T-Mobile devices presents an issue as we are monitoring our network infrastructure. It looks like PageGate looks up the mail server for T-Mobile and sends the message directly to the server. If our Internet connection goes down or some other device - we would not receive the SMS.

I would like to get a dial-up account with some ISP and have PageGate make the connection through the modem to the ISP when it needs to send a page via SMTP.

Is there a method to configure PageGate to use a dial-up connection and connect to an ISP to send the message?

Thanks in Advance for any help!
Rob

PageGate's Dialers can't actually reference DUN but there might be another solution.

The easiest solution I can think of is to have a third party program automate the task of connecting to the internet when a connection needs to be established. Which is to say, whenever PageGate tries to send out a message, this third party program detects that a connection needs to be established and dials the internet.

I did a quick search on http://www.download.com for "Dialer" and found a list of programs, one of which looked promising:

If that program doesn't work out, try one of the others in the list.
