:p.QuickPage is a wireless communicator software package used to send
alphanumeric messages to a pager using standard telephone lines and Hayes
standard modems.
:p.
These messages are sent to paging services supporting the standard Telocator
Alphanumeric Protocol :hp2.(TAP):ehp2. anywhere in the United States.
:p.
Messages are sent to the paging service through your standard telephone line
and modem.  Then the messaging service sends your messages via satellite
transmission in a satellite uplink.  The information is then sent from the
satellite to a satellite downlink station which sends the message to a 
ground-based transmitter.  This transmitter then uses radio frequency to
send the message to a wireless device (an alphanumeric or digital pager).

QuickPage creates a standard configuration file during installation and
assigns default values.  Some entries are added or changed when you select
them from the default configuration file dialog box.  You can change this
values or create other configuration files using an ASCII editor (i.e. EPM).

:warning text='Important'.
Always back up your configuration files before you make modifications to
them.  Incorrect changes can lead to unexpected results when you run
QuickPage.  Also some editors can use extended ASCII characters and
damage your configuration.  We recommend to use the standard OS/2 editor
EPM.
