I've always found that to get to the TAP Cluons at any Pager/Cellular
company, you need to immediately talk to a supervisor. They will at
least have heard of TAP, or "commercial applications which deliver
pages by dialing in via modem" (if they don't know TAP *G*) and can
usually at least direct you to the right people.
Playing the "I dunno what YOU guys call it, but I've got to get these
pagers entered into the company paging system with all the other
pagers" card usually works wonders for me when trying to track down
TAP Clue.
