Uses of GetAscii

[rburke]

Hello All,

I am a new user of the pagegate product (my department has had the software, but this is the first time I've had contact with it), and of course I've already had some requests for functionality.

We have an alerting product which parses data from what apepars to be a virtual printer. I've been asked if we can take this same data and send it out via SMTP (ie: using pagegate) to a select group of cell phones.


Is pagegate capable of this, and if so is getAscii the way to go? I'm not even sure that printers use ascii streams!

Thanks for your time,
Rob

Well... there are a couple of factors that it depends on. First, do you know if the printer data can be sent to the computer running PageGate? If so, does it come through as a raw ascii stream over a serial port or if it gets written to plain text file on the computer?
