CentOS - Sep 2009 - sendpage package

Is sendpage or some other alphanumeric paging program available from one
of the repos for CentOS 5?  I've checked rpmforge and epel.  I just
wanted to check to see if it might be available somewhere else before I
resort to building from source.

Hylafax is in rpmforge and contains a sendpage implementation.

(maybe overkill, but you get alphanumeric paging and fax handling :-))

Distributed as a tar file www.sendpage.org.

Are you sending to pagers or cell phones?

I just echo a message and pipe it to mail  cellphone#@cellcarrier.com and that 
work to get text messages to cell phones.

I can use the tar file, but I was hoping to find it in a repo somewhere
to make it easier to keep up with any updates.

I'm sending to a pager.  This system monitors my network and let's me
know if there are any problems.  I'm using a pager because I want to
hear about it if my Internet connection goes down.  I couldn't find any
way to send a text message to a cell phone without relying on the
Internet connection.
