[ale] Still dealing with Nextel

[Robert L. Harris]

I'm looking at the Net::SNPP module which appears a bit incomplete.  I
don't know java so I'm running with perl.  Looks like I'll be using
perl::expect since the Net::SNPP is complaining about missing or
undefined arguements when I'm running cut and paste (except for pager
number, etc) from the man page.


Thus spake cfowler (cfowler at outpostsentinel.com):
