3 Pager calling pre-filter


Here we introduce a pre-processing program which converts Japanese to
codes recognized by a pager.  Please do not ask me the detail around
between an operating system and a modem. The details depend on your
pager, modems and so on.

3.1	euc2jiskuten.pl

We need to translate Japanese to JIS Kuten codes for sending the mail
content to a pager.


We translate the mail content to EUC codes, and then to JIS Kuten
codes by euc2jiskuten.pl. You have only to send JIS Kuten codes to
a pager.


3.2	How to call pager through FML


1	prepare calling modem program (call it "modem2pager").


2	Configure $START_HOOK as the following example:


	open(PAGER, "| euc2jiskuten.pl | modem2pager");
	print PAGER $Envelope{'Body'}:
	close(PAGER);
	$DO_NOTHING = 1;


FML sends the mail body to euc2jiskuten.pl and then to modem2pager.
Modem2pager should queue and send it via e.g. /dev/tty01 to a modem.
You must tune queuing codes of modem2pager, which must be difficult.
