If all else fails, and if your pager company has a web form for
sending pages, it's not that hard to post a form from a script...
I've done it with AT&T,  Arch and Skytel.  It's generally easier than
scripting logging in to a web page to test functionality.

I think one company even embedded instructions in the web page saying
what would need to be posted to send a page.
