hmmm, that messaging card you are describing sounds
like it might be the Motorola messaging card which
uses a service that is no longer available...or so I
believe...I think it worked off of the MobileComm
Paging sytem. But I don't think that that exists
anylonger...I might be able to get you more
information if you need it...I would check on whether
you can get service on it before I spend any more time
fiddling with it...
